Tap symbol
Originally cards used the word tap explicitly (e.g., the text on Samite Healer in Unlimited was "Tap to prevent 1 damage to any target.") or were of type "Mono Artifact" (Cyclopean Tomb). Revised introduced the tap symbol as a tilted T inside a gray circle. In 4th Edition, it was changed to a white curved arrow with a tilted black rectangle representing the tapping card. In 8th Edition, it was changed to a black curved arrow without the rectangle behind it .
