What is this symbol called which is used to denote "II" in the second season of "The Quintessential Quintuplets"?

The Japanese title for "The Quintessential Quintuplets 2nd season" is 5-toubun no Hanayome ∬. I assume "∬" to be number 2 or "II". But this symbol looks more like the Integral symbol or "Double Integral" to be precise. This symbol is used in…

In the ending part in Episode 1 of The Quintessential Quintuplets, there is an upper case of letter 'R' on the rooftop of the department where the quints live. It looks pretty much like the landing pads in GTA. Is it actually a landing pad? Are…

Is the dad Isanari of the Uesugi siblings, Fūtarō and Raiha, named after Izanami or Izanagi given the kids are named after Fūjin and Raijin?

The kids' names are Fūtarō (Fuutarou) and Raiha. As we see here referencing this, they are named after the gods, resp, Fūjin (Fuujin) and Raijin. I notice the gods have Izanami as a parent, and then Izanami apparently has a child with another god,…

Raiha chases the quints and Fuutarou with some thing

In the s1 intro, Raiha chases the quints and Fuutarou with some thing. What is this? It doesn't seem to show up in the whole of s1 and s2. (Ideally, I'd combine all 3 images below in 1 image, but it's too large to upload.)

What happened to Itsuki's report card?

The codes on the top left of their cards matched, at least first few number, 102-660202... The number of students taking the exam matched, 234516. So we can tell they took the same exam. Why did Itsuki only get 4 subject scores? Did she literally…

Why do Nino and Miku need to fight for the TV?

At about 3:20 in the 2nd episode of 5-toubun no Hanayome ∬, Nino and Miku are fighting over the TV. Do parents in Japan forbid their children from having computers or tablets? If not, Nino and Miku could just watch their favorite shows in their…

At about 19:48 of the 1st episode of 5-toubun no Hanayome ∬, after Uesugi found out the culprit, he put the test paper on Ichika's head. Is it socially acceptable to put something over/on other's head in Japan? I think this might show a sense of…
