Actually the convention is to place a unit symbol and then from the left
hand edge a vertical line runs down and then straight to the location of
the
HQ. This then makes it look like a flag of teh unit size. eg infantry Bn
HQ
would be a rectangle with diagonal lines inside, unit size is two small
"horns" top centre on the box and a small "flagpole" on the left hand
side
which bends and points to the HQ actual location.
