symbols?

I am looking for a symbol that represents ‘value’. I am wondering if there are symbols for that in the world of engineering, math etc. Anyone? Or do you know of a good resource for symbols in general? Thanks so much! Happy thursday!

  1. This is useful in your toolbox:

  2. Frutiger’s “Signs and Symbols: Their Design and Meaning”

  3. Mies Hora’s exhaustive reference book “Official Signs & Icons 2” is essential. See a good interview with him on this topic at designforum.aiga.org

  4. Does it have to be a symbol people already associate with value? I’ve stumbled on these really cool symbols called Adinkra that I like a lot. Check out this page http://www.fredsmith.com/adinkra.htm and look at the the one called Hwehwemudua. Don’t know if that’ll help. . . good luck!
