This may seem like a dumb question and please don't be rude.... but, what does the all the symbols affect? I've always been curious. :/

Also the Metagame Thread's OP has this:

Default Monado Arts Info
(still in progress)​

Info key
Defense:
Increased = Damage taken reduced (this is a good thing)
Decreased = Damage taken increased (this is a bad thing)
Air Speed:
Increased = Travels left or right mid-air farther
Decreased = Travels left or right mid-air shorter
Falling Speed:
Increased = Naturally falling is faster
Decreased = Naturally falling is slower

Art | Increased stats | Decreased stats 翔(Jump) | Jump Height, Air speed, Falling speed | Defense, Weight 疾(Speed) | Movement speed, Air speed | Damage dealt, Jump Height 盾(Shield) | Defense, Weight, Shield health | Damage dealt, Jump Height, Movement speed, Air speed 斬(Buster) | Damage dealt | Defense, Knockback dealt, Weight 撃(Smash) | Knockback dealt | Damage dealt, Weight

And this table kudos to Aerodrome. Note that it's unfinished; the positives are increases, & negatives mean decreases:
DEFAULT MONADO ARTS

Stance | Damage Taken | Damage Dealt | Weight Change | Jump Height | Ground Speed | Aerial Speed | Fall Speed | Shield Health
