Another way to reduce ambiguity is to omit the suffix (unless it's p for picofarads) and let it be deduced from the numbers and symbols. 47 -> 47nF (if next to plain double bar symbol with no polarity markings) 47 -> 47μF (if next to polarized cap symbol) 0.47 -> 0.47μF 47p -> 47pF 10np -> np -> nonpolar -> electrolytic -> 10μF
