>>I do not personally know of this being used in place of an actual
signature on a record.<<

Organizations I worked with in the past used it for many records,
Including records stored electronically.  Here in North Dakota, the use
of the symbol is an enterprise standard, blessed by our AG as an
acceptable alternative to a signature.
