On standard ICAO aeronautical charts, how is a spot elevation (such as a terrain peak or summit) typically indicated?

Explanation
The annex key identifies a **peak** at these coordinates. Chart topography can be represented by elevation annotations and terrain symbols. **Key takeaway:** Use chart symbols and elevation information to identify terrain. **Glossary:** Peak: a locally high point or summit.
