Funny, I was told it's a Г-shape. Even those to pretend to know don't agree. There is nothing else to say about it.
Well, if you want to get all mathemagical about it, a horsey moves as a mash-up of:
That's right, horses move by doing what's known as the vector dance, in any direction they please. Checkmate, math style! 🐴
and if you look closely that looks like the kanji for ground 土 twice, so you know that they can't fly
I'm not a mathematician but that vector looks imaginary to me. Face it, it's not true. Someone made it up.
