Something like these (for top; flip vertically for end)?

       ##                    ########
      ####    (not top)      ########   (top; a `T' might be prettier,
     ######                  ########    but it's easier to confuse with
    ########                 #           the arrow)
       ##                    #
       ##                    #

[I think the current symbols are 8x8 pixels monochrome, so there's not
much room]
