Un símbolo, como es el caso de mm, es una representación gráfica generalmente del ámbito científico con validez internacional: unidades básicas y derivadas del sistema internacional (kg, m, s), elementos químicos (S, de azufre; K, de potasio, o N, de nitrógeno), operaciones matemáticas (+, %), unidades monetarias ($, €), etcétera. Como se ve, a diferencia de las abreviaturas, que son siempre acortamientos gráficos de la palabra que desarrollan (tel., de teléfono), los símbolos son invariables en plural y no llevan punto abreviativo. 3, record 1, Spanish, - mil%C3%ADmetro
