  • Subclasses of 'Symbol' are alphabets, in formal languages terminology.
  • A 'Symbol' is atomic for that alphabet, i.e. it has no parts that are symbols for the same alphabet. e.g. a math symbol is not made of other math symbols A Symbol may be a String in another language. e.g. "Bq" is the symbol for Becquerel units when dealing with metrology, or a string of "B" and "q" symbols when dealing with characters. [en]

    • Symbols of a formal language need not be symbols of anything. For instance there are logical constants which do not refer to any idea, but rather serve as a form of punctuation in the language (e.g. parentheses).

    Symbols of a formal language must be capable of being specified without any reference to any interpretation of them. (Wikipedia) [en]

    • The class is the idea of the symbol, while the individual of that class stands for a specific mark (or token) of that idea. [en]
