On July 21, 1969 Berlin issued a set of 4 stamps to commemorate the 20th Congress of the Post Office Trade Union Federation held in Berlin on July 7-11, 1969. The 20 pf value (Mi. #343) depicts an African telephone operator taking notes.

Universal suffrage is the subject of the low value 10 franc stamp (Sc. #1116) from Belgium's 1982 Europa set of two.

A man takes notes while listening to a lecture on his transistor radio, on this 1988 Costa Rican stamp (Sc #401) promoting adult education.

A pair of stamps issued in 2016 by the Republic of China (Taiwan) for PhilaTaipei 2016 World Stamp Exhibition - Designer's Day both included writing instruments.

The upper one (Sc. 4326) includes a seated figure at the left who is a painter. Behind the ear is a brush.
The lower stamp includes on the right what I think is an engraving tool for book binding arts, and there is also a compass in the left hand.

My guess is that the six-armed person is wielding a hot stamping/burnishing tool. This is something I would not dare to do without wearing leather gloves.

I figured one or more of the devices s/he/they is brandishing would leave some kind of mark. A scary multi-tasker!
