It's saves them time when writing out equations, and it's universal so that anybody could understand and read the symbol.
The mathematical language of symbols, including variables, is a systematic way to represent mathematical concepts and relationships using symbols rather than words. Variables are symbols that stand for unknown values or quantities, allowing for generalization and abstraction in mathematical expressions and equations. This symbolic language facilitates the formulation of mathematical theories and the solving of problems by providing a concise and universal means of communication among mathematicians. It enables complex ideas to be expressed clearly and efficiently, making it easier to manipulate and analyze mathematical relationships.
There are several, of which endeca- and hendeca- are more common. However, most mathematicians who wish to communicate rather than be pretentious will refer to an 11-gon or 11-hedron rather than use the prefices.
A method of animation which does not use symbols is Flash animation. It involves the creation of content solely based on a particular topic rather than by using symbols.
Because symbols cant be changed easily unlike signatures. People can squeeze in letters and change it.
Most sensible mathematicians would call it a 240-gon. Those with pretensions or who wish to obfuscate rather than communicate with their audiences might call it a dihectatetracontagon.
Too full of clutter.
π or π/2 radians for mathematicians (certainly), and I would guess 90 degrees for engineers. Advanced mathematicians use radians rather than degrees as the unit for measuring angles.
Arbitrary vocal symbols are sounds or words used in a language that do not have an inherent connection to the objects or concepts they represent. In other words, the link between the sound and its meaning is based on convention rather than a natural relationship. This feature is common in human languages.
Nouns are a part of every language. Without nouns, humans would communicate by signs and symbols rather than words.

An example of a pictographic language is Chinese, where characters are formed of graphemes that represent words or phrases, rather than sounds. Each character visually represents a concept or object, making it a form of writing that relies on visual symbols rather than an alphabet.

Chinese characters, known as Hanzi, are logograms that represent words or morphemes, rather than individual letters or sounds. Each character can convey meaning on its own or combine with others to form words. So, in a sense, Chinese characters can be seen as symbols that represent both words and concepts.
"The" five mathematicians? There surely are much more than five.
Because the symbols he invented stood for syllables rather than for individual letters, Sequoyah's system was called a "syllabary".
Hieroglyphics are symbols used for ancient writing. Hieroglyphics represents whole words or thoughts, rather than individual sounds. Many ancient cultures used hieroglyphs including the Mayans and Egyptians.
