Does anybody know what this symbol presents? enter image description here

As the others have said, it is a transmission gate. To further explain, these transmission gates are driven by CMOS-based switches and they behave similarly to a relay.

It behaves very much so of a tristate buffer. Below is a truth table for such a device.

It's a combination or overlay of the two symbols in Figure 1. Rotate the symbol on the right by 180° and overlay on the symbol on the left.

enter image description here

Figure 2. Borrowing the symbol from KingDuken's answer but changing the infill to show the two buffers.

If the control signal is high the gate transmits from left to right. If the control signal is low the gate transmits from right to left.

  • That's a really neat visual representation :) I like how you did that on Figure 2. –  Aug 18 '18 at 17:10

It's just a transmission gate. It will selectively block or pass a signal level from the input to the output.

Try a web search if you don't know how they work.
