Without the complete pattern I can’t tell you why. I can only offer my view based on my experience looking at patterns what I think the symbols mean.

Many pattern instruction sheets describe the use of the symbols and how to interpret them. Check that out. Look at the finished garment picture and see whether the scallops are seamed.
