The symbol for Cobalt is Co and not CO because CO can be misunderstood as carbon monoxide(CO).
Also, by convention, when the symbol of an element contains two letters, the first one is capitalized and the second is not. Other examples include Be, He, Fe, Pd, Au, ... .

What is 'co'? You must be careful when writing chemical formula. They have different meaning and names. 'co'. Not known. Co is Cobalt. CO is carbon monoxide, Remember for all chemical formulae and symbols. A single letter symbol is ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. e.g. H (hydrogen) A two letter symbol has a CAPITAL letter , to start, followed by a small case letter. e.g. Na (Nadium ; Sodium) No chemical formula has two small case letters., hence 'co' is a nonsense.
