In the case of Weiss, I think it has more to do with her choosing to use her family symbol. Her glyphs could probably take any form, so it might as well be something meaningful to her. Just the same as the other characters choosing to wear their symbols on their clothing, she chooses to have her semblance take the visual form of it.

Also, this came up somewhere, but hasn't really been mentioned on this wiki. Cinder's symbol appears to be a pair of heeled slippers, with the negative space creating a heart. It might have been obvious to some, but I honestly neve noticed it as being shoes.
