The symbol on the upper left corner of the shield is the Chinese "star". Rangers are the decendents of Merrills Marauders who fought the Japanese in the China/Burma theater during WWII. China/Burma is part of the lineage.
The Chinese "star" is also on the flag of the Nation of Taiwan. I can't remember what the other symbols and colors represent. I threw all the literature away that the Ranger unit gave to me when in proccessing (1977). I kept the paperwork for almost 30 years. It was time taking up space and finally had to go.
