Hi GLEEditor,

I inquired further and a simpler option is also to code the table using normal table markup and keep the symbols, as long as the table key is read out before the other contents of the table that reference the key.

You can test how Assistive Technology is reading out the symbols–they would either read as dot or circle, for example–and if the three symbols are unique and AT announces them correctly, it is fine to code them using HTML markup within the table. In this case, a complex table description wouldn’t be necessary, but it’s fine to include that as well.

Hope this helps!
