It's gotta be The Cool S.
So the cool s has no verified origin ans has occured in childlore functionally spontaneously across every demographic. It occurs in every nation with very little variation, regardless of language, and as far as symbols go, it's remarkably complex to be appearing so consistently with 14 distinct lines.
For this reason, my silly theory is actually that it's the yellow sign. The symbol of the eldrich elder god of manipupations of the cthulhu mythos, the king in yellow, Hastur. Thus, among his mind warping eldritch knowledge is the true secret to writing your full name in the cool S font.
Occam's razor probably points to having access to graph paper in school and connecting corners.
Why an S?
That all has to do with Cthulu as S is widely known as his favorite letter.
