If you're asking about the Ø symbol, this is the international drafting symbol for a diameter.

Here's a link that shows a list of various mechanical drafting symbols: http://www.draftingzone.com/shoppingzone/6-1.pdf

If you have a different symbol, please attach a picture of the symbol you're asking about and a picture of the entire drawing to help us provide an exact answer.

You might be asking about Datum Target symbols. These symbols define the areas used to establish the datum planes used in GD&T (Geometric Dimension and Tolerance) systems.

Here's an example drawing with Datum symbols (square) and Datum Target symbols (circle): http://images.books24x7.com/bookimages/id_17892/figu36_1.jpg
