A list of all pages that have property "Description" with value "'''Iconic symbols''' are used in [[ergodynamics]] to indicate more explicitely — compared to standard SI or IUPAC symbols — the quantity represented and some boundary conditions. This is particularly the case in normalized quantities (ratios of quantities). Iconic (or canonical) symbols help to clarify the meaning, are based on SI and IUPAC symbols as far as possible, and may be translated into more commonly used, practical symbols. Several ambiguities in SI and IUPAC symbols are eliminated by the systematic structure of iconic symbols, but it may be impossible to avoid all ambiguities, particulary when long (canonical) symbols are abbreviated in a particular context. Clarity is improved always by showing the unit of a quantity together with the symbol of the quantity. Iconic symbols cannot be identical with IUPAC symbols when a different definition is used — this would add to the confusion. For example, the IUPAC symbols ''n''B [mol] and ''V''B [m3] denote amount and volume of B. Consequently, it should be expected, that the symbol ''Q''B indicates charge of B [C]. However, the IUPAC symbol ''Q''B is used for particle charge per ion B [C·x-1]. This prohibits a consistent definition of ''Q''B as a potential iconic symbol for charge carried by a given quantity of ions B with unit [C], instead of particle charge per ion B with unit [C·x-1]. Hence, the conventional ambigous system forces compatible iconic symbols to be more complicated, using ''Q''elB [C] and ''Q''''N''B [C·x-1] to distinguish charge of B from charge per elementary B. ''Q''''n''B [C·mol-1] is charge per molar amount of B.". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
