This denotes a or radar vector required to enter the approach. It looks like a zig-zag line leading to the initial approach fix.
Jeppesen (a Boeing company) produces for instrument flight rules (IFR). Unlike government charts (e.g., FAA, NACO), Jeppesen standardizes symbology, layout, and terminology globally. This means a chart in Tokyo looks nearly identical to one in Chicago, reducing pilot workload in international operations. jeppesen chart
Modern Jeppesen charts use the "T" design to create a "tee" shape of altitudes. This allows pilots descending from high altitude to self-navigate without radar vectors, known as Visual Flight Rules (VFR) waypoints like "WHITE" or "REDD." This denotes a or radar vector required to
