Abstract
Typographical symbols of chemical elements were established in the early 19th century and they soon spread throughout the textbooks of chemistry. This spread, however, was not an exemplary adoption of international standards. Rather, a garden variety of individual notations soon emerged. This is a brief story of their eradication.
