Both perpendicularity and parallelism tolerance followed with a % symbol, I haven't seen this before and I'm anxious to know what's that means. drawing per ISO 1101.

Are you sure it's not a font issue? The fact that the drawing is in French but the decimal points appear to be periods rather than commas makes me wonder.
 
Good point, could be a font issue.
Thanks

I doubt it's a font issue. There's nothing that would legally serve in that place for all conditions. For example, the only thing that typically goes there is an MMC or LMC modifier. While that would work for one of the perpendicularity tolerances--even though it's missing the diameter symbol--it won't work for the others.

Nice catch powerhound, but you are making a potentially fatal assumption that they used GD&T correctly [rednose]
 
Je ne sais pas. Never saw that when I worked in France, something has been lost in translation.

It means - contact the drawing supplier and ask what they expected.
 
I did not mean to imply that I thought anything about this drawing was correct, only that the percent symbol was probably not a font issue.
