Cleaning out a library and found these with pieces from several dozen board games. I'm not 100% sure they even go to a game.
The symbols don't look like alchemical or occult symbols I'm familiar with.
What are these dice?

Within the space of six months, three people have found identical unidentifiable sets of dice with what looks like sigils on them? Spooky.

If you find a 7th one and you use them in the correct order, I think a wormhole will appear. It's probably near some supercapacitor.
That, or if you figure out the correct sequence, 2 people from the Air Force are going to show up and offer you a job you can't refuse.

That's the thing about sigils. Anyone can just make up their own. That's my guess anyway.

They're position markers with arbitrary symbols. If you look they're all the same symbols, all marked with the same multi media and uwmc #. They're probably for museum photo cataloging or perhaps loan out markers for items.

Looks like a possible student project of some sort. Searching up the text gave me these potential answers:
IMC UWEC May stand for Interactive Media Communication. I would guess that's the name of the particular class. UWEC is the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Multimedia 3537 Likely a specific university course code. Part of their multimedia communication course

if you search multimedia 3537 some results are in Russian, the symbols vaguely resemble Russian old alphabet or Cyrillic, idk

Since libraries often have odd things, I checked and the UWEC Library even has several dice sets in their catalog. Sadly I didn't get any matches searching for dice with the publishers in quotes.

Do you have the names of those games?

Schizo dice, maybe?

They remind me of a uni project a guy was doing in 2010. Machine and human readable cubes to allow a machine vision and computer to read communication lines from a human.
You'd place the cubes in a row to spell out a sentence of instruction. And the camera capture would send to be deciphered.
At the time I couldn't comprehend how this was useful, but maybe specific graphics were easier for the machine vision to recognize then actual words.
He tried explaining it to me, but after a few times I said something like "I'm either dumb as a brick and can't get this or you have gone off the derpend."

I could swear I've seen that bottom symbol (second lowest die) somewhere... they remind me of Blissymbols a bit, but I don't think that's what they are.
