Two lines crossing each other repeatedly.
Also known as: Twisted pair, Balanced pair, Two crossing lines, Differential pair
Two wires drawn crossing repeatedly means a twisted pair, and the twisting is functional: interference induced into the two wires is nearly equal and cancels at a differential receiver. The tighter the twist, the better the rejection.
Denotes a twisted pair: two conductors twisted together to reject common-mode interference.
Contexts: Electrical equipment
Works by making induced interference nearly identical in both conductors, so a differential receiver subtracts it away.
Contexts: Electrical equipment
Requires a differential receiver to realise the benefit; a twisted pair read single-ended gains nothing.

Two lines running side by side and crossing over each other at regular intervals along their length.
