  Ideograms (symbols that represent a word or idea) have great communicative
value. They refer to concepts in a simple manner, easing the understanding of
related ideas. Moreover, ideograms can simplify the often cumbersome notation
used in the fields of Physics and physical Chemistry. Nonetheless only a few
specific ideograms for these fields have been defined to date. In this work we
propose that the scientific community follows the example of Mathematics -as
well as that of oriental languages- and bestows a more important role upon
ideograms. To support this thesis we propose ideograms for essential concepts
in Physics and Chemistry. They are designed to be intuitive, and their goal is
to make equations easier to read and understand. Our symbols are included in a
publicly available Latex package (svrsymbols).
