I hate symbols

Rant On

Another thread had an interesting observation:

One square inside another is the standard symbol of double isolation

I had no idea. Thanks to the observation, now I know.

I hate symbols because they're cryptic and I don't understand them and there's no Rosetta Stone or Captain Marvel decoder ring.

wouldn't it be nice to have a standardized set of symbols that could be used across the world?

You would need some sort of organization to manage these international standards.

That would be DOUBLE INSULATION not isolation, meaning there is no requirement to earth (ground) the unit.
