Thanks.

I thought path integral too but doesn't seem to be, since there's not
integral or sum, which are more basic.

this keyboard owner webwit has posted a close up of that key, see
bottom here:
http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=23509

it doesn't seem to be any of APL symbols, and isn't a currency sign
that i checked wikipedia with... my quick search of lisp machine doc
didn't turn out any doc on keyboard, mostly just about lisp language.
