What is this icon on EOS R5 Mark II

I believe this is part of the manual focus guide to assist with precise manual focusing. The direction of the arrows tells you how to adjust the focus ring…

• Arrows pointing outward from the corners indicate that the focus is nearer than the detected subject.
• When the display is green, you have achieved accurate focus on your subject.
• Arrows pointing inward towards the center indicate that the focal point is behind the subject. 

To turn this guide on or off... 

1. Press the MENU button
2. Go to the Autofocus (AF) menu
3. Look for a setting related to Focus Guide or Manual Focus Aids and enable it.

Do you have register people priority enabled and some faces stored?

Manual focus guide looks like this so that's not it, I think Brian is right but as I don't shoot people I'm not sure.

Thank you. I learned something today because of you. definitely a clever feature.

It is different from Focus Guide

I have some faces stored. Whether I enable of disable ‘register people priority’, the icon shows at the lower right corner only in movie mode with RF lens attached.  And the icon is different from the one of face detecting.

What lens do you have fitted to the camera?

I can find no mention of this icon in the manual, but my thought is that it might be an indication that focus breathing correction is active. When specific lenses are used the camera compensates for focus breathing, it might be an icon for that.

This is the section of the manual where focus breathing correction is mentioned

This is the list of lenses compatible with the focus breathing feature.

Thank you!

It is Lens aberration correction - Focus breathing correction.

The icon appears when I attach RF70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z. Finally find the answer that not mentioned int the mannual.

Hi, Possibly Subject Detection (People) is turned ON for autofocus.
The square brackets would represent the AF area.
The human silhouette inside it would mean subject detection = People (eye/face/head/body tracking).
And finally, the “ON” entice that this detection mode is currently active.
