New to the schematics/layout, not sure what is this sign presenting and why the element looks like this, saw it in a D flip-flop schematics.
 

That's a transmission gate or a complementary MOS switch. It is usually used to effectively pass signals in the entire range of voltages from supply to ground:
 

Hi,

it´s rather close to the hydraulics symbol for a (bidirectional) valve.

Glad that they managed to use a quite similar symbol for electronics.
Electronics and hydraulics have so much in common – when it comes to behavior.
