ArmySGT,
I thought about using symbols for each element. I still might include some in the Official Presidential Seal or for the Assembly. But I will have to find some clip art or graphics that I like first.
There are probably thousands of people knowledgeable of what Latin is and hundreds that are literate. Emdees are one group that still probably use Latin even in a post-Apoc world.
It really depends on the setting. Me? I believe that there should be Yang for Ying, Khan for Kirk, negative for positive, reaction for action, etc.

Emdees might........... Their knowledge is five generations removed from the original Doctor. They could use the words without grasping that this is part of a larger language. I have taken medical terminology at my local community college (on the way to a new degree), while we learned (rote) alot of pre-fixes, suffixes, and combining words not the verbs or conjugations for things that are not strictly anatomical.
As for symbols, some Heraldric (Chivalry) websites. Examples of symbology abound for each of those meanings. Probably a bunch in .gif format.
