Is there an icon latin, glyph or symbol that means rounding?

Is there an icon that means rounding? I'm not talking about notation but specifically an icon, glyph or symbol.

For example, "pi" has the icon $\pi$.

I would also accept an icon that means integer (as opposed to decimal).

I was looking at this character $\sigma$ (SIGMA) or this one ≈: or $\Omega$ (GREEK OMEGA). All of these are in the Mac Character Viewer in Math Symbols. I mention these specifically so that I'm not using a character that means something already.

The goal is to round a number with $2$ decimal points to a whole number. It can use standard rounding properties. The user is given a number and sometimes it has $2$ decimal places. Some people want to round the number. Rounding up or down does not matter the wholeness does.

Bear in mind that any symbol for "round" must incorporate the following options:

a) Are you rounding to "decimal places" or "significant figures"?

b) How many digits, of either "decimal places" or "significant figures"?

c) What sort of rounding: half-up, half-down, or half-to-nearest-even? (There may be other options.)

So whatever symbolism is needed, it must be capable of communicating all these options so that the user understands exactly what is meant. Rounding is a surprisingly non-trivial exercise.
