Is there a number next to it? If yes then it could be a bus.

I suppose you're talking about something like that?

I have seen that symbol used, with letters and/or numbers next to it, to indicate a power supply voltage.

If I remember right, they used this symbol in old German tube circuits. However, I can't remember what it was representing.

The anode of XRay tubes is sometimes drawn like that.
Of course within an envelope which also contains a directly heated cathode.
