表記

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 表記 is read as ひょうき and functions as a noun or with する for the written representation of a word, name, value, or unit in characters or symbols.
• Basic usage: Use the compound 漢字表記 for kanji spelling and 単位の表記を統一する for standardizing unit notation.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Written form and pronunciation
  • 漢字表記 identifies which characters write the name and does not by itself specify how the name is pronounced.
• Scope of consistency
  • 文書全体で統一する means applying the same notation rule for units throughout the document.
