I don't see three arrows down as any typical proofreading mark. Is it possible that what you are seeing as three down arrows is an indication to insert quotation marks? That's the closest idea that I can come up with. You may need to consult with your proofreader to clarify the symbol. (If someone's willing to read and make marks on your work, s/he will be happy to clarify those marks' meanings.)

In literature, three arrows pointing down can symbolize surrender, a downfall, or a decrease in status or fortune. It can also represent a loss of power or control. The interpretation may vary depending on the context in which the symbol appears.
