Though....that leads to 3 other ideas:

1-Taiyang practically forced her to use that Symbol, because he is basically, consciously or not, projecting Summer in Ruby, and as such raised her to be as similar to Summer as possible, for he by then hadn't been able to let go of her death. By the time he did, it was kind-of too late.

2-Ruby is a horrible drawer. She may have just chosen to use it out of convenience.

3-Monty's "7 seasons already planned out" set of ideas for Ruby did not include Summer's symbol. IOW, he didn't think of what would Summer's symbol be before he even started making the trailers, so he recycled Ruby's when making the grave, in the same way he used the Transient Princess in the pic Yang had in the Y-Trailer.
