Here's a couple of web page links:

https://spanish.stackexchange.com/questions/32080/tiene-nombre-el-signo-de-la-cruz-en-un-c%c3%adrculo-que-veo-a-veces-en-el-dpd/32081#32081

https://dle.rae.es/bolaspa

Both show the symbol as a superscript, above the baseline.  The first 
page cites an article which refers to the bolaspa as a symbol of 
"medieval torture".
