Just curious: What does this symbol mean?

What's the meaning of the symbol after the score? What I see is a couple of lit candles. It's the player's birthday? :)

It's called Berserk.

When a player clicks the Berserk button at the beginning of the game, they lose half of their clock time, but the win is worth one extra tournament point. ... Berserk only grants an extra point if you play at least 7 moves in the game.

I think it's only available in Arena Tournament.
@Terrene And the symbol's not two birthday candles. It is a person split in half, to indicate time being divided.
Arena Berserk
When a player clicks the Berserk button at the beginning of the game, they lose half of their clock time, but the win is worth one extra tournament point.

Going Berserk in time controls with an increment also cancels the increment. (1+2 is an exception, it gives 1+0)

Berserk is not available for games with zero initial time (0+1, 0+2).

Berserk only grants an extra point if you play at least 7 moves in the game.

I knew about berserk, but was curious about the symbol.

Now that you mention berserk, it may have something to do with a manga character. Since I'm not any manga fan, I had to google it. It may supposed to be a crossbow or a person split in half as @ericxia says, but it still rather resembles a couple of lit candles. Happy birthday anyway! :))

You can interpret funny things as you want, it's still a human body split in half 😂😂
