Default Windshield markings

I'm deciphering my 2017 Audi A4 windshield markings and haven't been able to figure out what one symbol is. There's an A to the left of the CCC and below the E6 markings. Is this an Acoustic identifier?

Usually the windshield glass is acoustic if it either has an ear symbol or the embossed word "acoustic".

Windshield at least on the A4 and on most German cars is acoustic.

Possibly true, but not all OEM or after-market windshields are.

That's true but I've found that most vendors seem to know about the OEM acoustic specification but it definitely pays to make sure. I'm wondering too if the side glass is also laminated because the car is eerily quite and it's not just padding and cladding accomplishing that. I believe Audi breaks this out on the 2018 models but I'm just wondering if it's more marketing than fact.

I think only the prestige Allroad has acoustic glass on the front windows.
