the direction of motion i think
An occluded front is represented by a line with alternating triangles and semicircles on the same side of the line, typically in purple. The triangles point in the direction the front is moving, while the semicircles indicate the other air mass. This symbol indicates the meeting of cold and warm air masses, resulting in complex weather patterns.
For a cold front I believe there are blue triangles that are upside down in a line. For a Warm front I believe there are red triangles that are right side up on a line.
The symbol for a stationary front on a weather map is a line with alternating red semicircles and blue triangles on opposite sides of the line. This symbol indicates that warm and cold air masses are not moving, resulting in prolonged periods of unsettled weather.
A warm front.
An occluded front on a weather map is depicted by a line with alternating semicircles and triangles, where the semicircles represent warm air and the triangles represent cold air. This type of front occurs when a cold front overtakes a warm front, lifting the warm air off the ground. As a result, the line illustrates the interaction of both cold and warm air masses, indicating potential changes in weather conditions.
The semicircles on a weather map symbol for a warm front indicate the direction in which the warm air is moving. The semicircles point in the direction the front is moving, showing that warmer air is replacing cooler air as the front passes.

The symbol for a cold front is a blue line with triangles pointing in the direction of movement, representing the leading edge of cold air moving into a region. The symbol for a warm front is a red line with semicircles pointing in the direction of movement, representing the leading edge of warm air replacing cooler air.
The weather map symbol for a warm front is semicircles on the same side of a line.For this and more weather map symbols, visit the URL in the related links below.
A red line with semicircles on a weather map typically indicates a warm front. This signifies an area where warm air is advancing and replacing cooler air, often leading to the potential for cloudiness and precipitation.
A warm front is shown by a line with semicircles extending from one side. Warm fronts bring warm air into an area, often causing a gradual increase in temperature and typically result in longer periods of precipitation.

A stationary front is represented by a line with alternating triangles and semicircles on opposite sides, but in meteorological charts, it is often marked with the symbol "S" or simply shown as a line without specific numbers. The key characteristic of a stationary front is that it does not move significantly, distinguishing it from cold and warm fronts. The combination of symbols indicates the different air masses involved.
An occluded front on a weather map is shown as a purple line with alternating triangles and semicircles on one side facing the direction of movement. This front occurs when a faster moving cold front catches up to a slower moving warm front, causing the warm air to be pushed aloft. It typically brings a mix of precipitation and cloudy weather.
