I can think only of Saint Peter who was crucified upside down and sometimes pictured as such. He was ordered to be crucified but requested that they execute him upside down as he did not feel worthy to die as Christ had.

What does the upturned cross signal and what is its history?

The upside down cross is the Petrine Cross (The Cross of Saint Peter). The Catholic tradition states that Peter wanted to be crucified upside down because he did not believe that he was worthy of being crucified in the manner that Jesus Christ was crucified. Therefore, an upside down cross is the Cross of Saint Peter. However, the upside down crucifix (a cross with the body of Jesus Christ on it) has been attached to satanic things. Not sure about history on that one.
