Which is better?
This:
or this:
In both cases, the unfamiliar symbol represents a delay. I use a Greek delta (Δ) to represent transmission line delay, and a square to represent inertial delay in equations, so I want matching circuit symbols. There aren't really any nice standard symbols, other than some quite yucky ones from the async literature that I don't really want to use for aesthetic reasons. I won't say which one I prefer, because I'd rather hear an unbiassed opinion from you lot.

With the lower example it is clear that the items concerned are part of the system being graphed. They clearly have an input and an output.
In the case of the unadorned triagle (in whatever position) it isn't clear that they are part of the system indeed, if I saw that graphic in a book I'd assume that the registration was off during printing and that the triables indicated testor measurement points. They stand separate from the system shown and have no clear IO or explanation of what they might be (and a 30deg rotation would give them a totally different meaning too, which the person looking at the graphic might also think you had meant).
Takes be back to college in the mid-70's seeing that ;-)
