In Norse history, as well as ancient Germanic, which as the C’s have indicated were the surviving ancestral offspring of the Kantek refugees, the three pronged symbol would be the Algiz.
It was probably originally a weapon, or a hand held power generator, like the similar Egyptian ankh, but after centuries of catastrophic upheavals and bloodshed, its memory became just a goofy scratched on wood and bone spell, or charm, in my opinion.

“Algiz is the 15th character of the Elder Futhark alphabet, one of the oldest and most expansive rune alphabets. The earliest clear records of the complete Elder Futhark come from the 2nd century AD, and it was used throughout much of Europe by Germanic, Nordic and Celtic people until the 10th century AD. Algiz is one of the only runes in the Elder Futhark that has never been found to begin a word, it only occurs in the middle or end of a word, similar to the way “er” or “re” are common suffixes in modern English.
Aside from its use as a character in written language, by itself it was frequently used as a potent protection symbol, painted or carved in stone or wood, particularly near areas regarded as pure and capable of healing, like freshwater springs. In some interpretations, the Algiz rune was also associated with Valkyries and resurrection.”[…]
Algiz, or Elhiz, is a rune in the Elder Futhark and means "Elk". It's most commonly transliterated as the "z" sound of proto germanic languages.
