Printing/scanning errors or brand new symbols?
and is the dot above actually a staccatissimo?
The staccato always looks like that on higher notes of this piece(the one I'm notating):

Based on how consistently it's used, it does indeed to be deliberate. Whether they literally meant shorter than normal or something else is another matter - I note many of these chord are arpeggiated and that's kind of nonsensical. Could be intended to be more like a marcato accent.

I couldn't find a good symbol for it 😅

not sure if I can input it as a staccatissimo or a staccatissimo wedge(not an arpeggietto my bad)
I think they're the best symbols for it

I'd use the staccatissimo, it's the closest and there is at least some chance it was what was intended.
