Why do all periodic elements have symbols?
All periodic elements have symbols to provide a standardized and concise way to represent them in scientific communication. These symbols, typically one or two letters derived from their English or Latin names, facilitate easier writing and understanding of chemical formulas, equations, and reactions. Additionally, the use of symbols helps to avoid ambiguity and confusion, especially in complex discussions involving multiple elements. Overall, symbols serve as a universal language in chemistry.
Why are letters used in the periodic table?
Because it's easier than having to write them all out every time. Also, they get their symbols from their Greek names.

Keep in mind that the names for the elements (and their symbols) may be different in languages other than English.
