YES!!! Take a look at the Periodic Table.
All the named elements are there , together with their elemental symbol and other data.
Some elements have a sub-symbol to represent an isotope of that element.
Taking hydrogen
Symbol ; H
However its isotopes are sometimes represented by
p ; (protium) for [1/1]H
d( or D) ; (deuterium) for [2/1]H
t( or T) ; (tritium) for [3/1]H

∙ 7y agoA single chemical element can have different names but only ONE symbol, of one or two letters, often based on the Greek names for traditional elements.
However, some elements (such as gold and tin Z ) do have stylized alchemy pictograms as well as letter symbols.
