const isSymbol = val => typeof val === 'symbol';

// Test cases to check if the provided values are symbols
console.log(isSymbol(Symbol('x'))); // true (Symbol('x') is a symbol)
console.log(isSymbol(Symbol(1)));   // true (Symbol(1) is a symbol)
console.log(isSymbol(Symbol(')'))); // true (Symbol(')') is a symbol)
