those are angle "tickmarks", usually you'd also have tickmarks on segments denoted by a small line or two small lines, meaning, those sides are equal in length, in this case, it means those angles are equal.

so, in this case, ∡ G is equal to ∡ D, and ∡E equals ∡H and ∡F equals ∡I.

The semi-circles in the triangles represent the verteces or different angles on certain points of the triangle.
