What does the symbol of isotopes of the same element look like?

Isotopes have different masses, so the superscript preceding the symbol will be different. An example could be carbon with atomic mass 12 and carbon with atomic mass 14. 12C and 14C with the 12 and 14 being superscripts, identifies the different isotopes.


How do you figure out how many isotopes an element has?

You don't; you look it up in a table of nuclides. It's very difficult (as in, essentially impossible) to predict things like this.
