What is the point of origin of each Stargate?

The way the point of origin works is that each Stargate has 38 symbols that are identical on all gates (ignoring the Abydos gate in the movie, which had symbols corresponding to the constellations on Abydos). The 39th symbol is unique to each gate, and is the point of origin.

What is the 39th symbol on the gate dial for?

The 39th symbol is unique to each gate, and is the point of origin. If you have a DHD to dial, you enter 6 digits on the DHD, then press the large red button. This instructs the gate to then lock in the point of origin and establish a wormhole. Without the DHD, SGC had to find the point of origin symbol, which Daniel Jackson did in the movie.
