We usually see p+ used for the proton. Remember that it's a hydrogen nucleus. It might appear as H+ to denote a hydrogen atom (actually an ion) that has lost its electron and is a lonely proton with its characteristic +1 charge.

Note that a hydrogen nucleus can sometimes have one or even two neutrons stuck together with the proton. Just so ya know.

Also, it can be written as 1 over 1 p

The symbol for protons is p, or p+

and for electrons it is e or e-

Finally, to be complete, the 3rd atomic particle is n for neutron

(this one is neither + nor - charged, it is neutral)

A proton is denoted by either 'p' or 'p+' or just '+'. When speaking about acids then H+ is widely used, or even just as H used in 'pH'.
