This is a jumper. In this case, it is used to remove so that a power/amperage measurement can be made.
If I'm looking at the correct symbol, that's a feed through capacitor.
They are common on RF devices where they allow wires to enter a shielded enclosure.
Looking at the picture from the link you gave here they are:

Further to Billy and Trevor's test-point suggestion, the test points may be designed for a pogo-pin test fixture and some special PCB "pad" assigned for the function.

Such a system might, for example, allow automated testing of your power-supply board under various conditions such as lower and upper limits of the supply voltage, no-load, half-load and full load on the output and testing control inputs and monitoring outputs. When I first saw National Instruments equipment thirty years ago this seemed to be a large part of their business.
