How to create symbol above unit World Editor

If you want such a symbol to appear in game you have 3 options...
  • Give the unit an item with the model as an attachment on the appropriate attachment point (head).
  • Give the unit an aura with a buff of the model as an attachment on the appropriate attachment point (head).
  • Use triggers to create a special effect attached to the unit of the model as an attachment on the appropriate attachment point (head). This special effect can be saved to a variable for deletion at a later time.
You could also edit the model to add the desired geometry and animations to it. However this is generally not recommended over any of the above.

I mean like Campaign map, the symbol will show if the quest want to go to the unit. Then if done, the symbol will be gone.
 
You can use this trigger to create the symbol you're looking for with the effect in the picture
