This is usually an indicator that the device has a quick connect or
disconnect capability.

normally means its part of a some shut off or remove able
from the circuit.
could also be motor over loads on a motor started etc...

I concur - the only times I've seen arrowheads in just that configuration,
it's been a connector of some sort.

Pretty sure it means it's a drawout type breaker...
