Why do TACANs not have a symbol for compulsory reporting on IFR Enroute Low Altitude charts?
$begingroup$
I am studying the IFR Enroute Low Altitude legend, and I noticed that all NAV Aids other than TACAN have a compulsory reporting point icon.
Edit: Plot twist:
They do appear on the STAR/DP legend.
Why do TACANs not have a compulsory reporting point icon on the STAR/DP, but not IFR Enroute Low Altitude?

TACANs are for military use. VOR or VORTAC are the civilian equivalent. Civilians can't generally tune in TACAN.
