Symbols and measures in financial reporting

In their digression 2.8 to chapter 2 of their book “ Filled, outlined, hatched”,  Hichert&Faisst write about some exciting forms of visualizations for measures and indicators in financial reporting.

Indeed this is still a vast area for future development and could be generally accepted like for example the use of symbols in thematical maps.

As suggested by  Hichert$Faisst turnover could be represented by a Ʌ, the cost by V and the result by something like Ꜻ or ˄˅.   

Especially on a international level business communication could be substantially improved.
