The LOZENGE is also found in GOST 10859; my guess that it was there
not to represent sown fields or female fertility
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lozenge#Symbolism) but rather for its
usage in modal logic to express the possibility of the following
expression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lozenge#Modal_logic) as it
contains quite a few other symbols used in mathematical logic.
