Default Diode symbol confusion

Message id: :

on one schematic
If a straight bar of cathode and triangle represent a signal diode
Same with a small return towards the triangle from the bar represents a
zener diode
What does the symbol mean with 2 barbs to the bar , one towards the anode
and the other in the other direction.
In the context of the circuit it could mean high speed or shottke , either
or both? just in passing, if anyone happens to know.
