I imagine Julie means for plans, matrices, context sheets etc, not just finds...
The most common in my experience are (1) for deposits, whether fills, layers or even skeletons,
[2] for cuts, masonry and timber (sometimes with the [^] 'roof' for masonry, which I always found a bit twee),
Accessioned finds/registered artefacts/small finds in <3>, or sometimes in triangles, which means you need another symbol for use in reports so that always struck me as a bit daft.
Samples in {4}, or often <5> at some units.
Never seen # or * used as a class identifier
