The description of a symbol is an utterly important property that is essential for being able to identify the symbol and to find it among hundreds or thousands of other symbols. Therefore, it is advisable to put some effort in formulating an informative, but still short and concise  description.

 

The description is limited to a maximum of 80 characters. National characters are supported but may be harder to handle in searches.

 

You type the description manually.
