…next to transistor symbols. "K" is often used instead of "C", because the origin of the word cathode is kathodos, and to avoid confusion with "C" for capacitors in silkscreen of printed circuit boards. Voltage text should be placed next to each zener and TVS diode symbol too, such as "5.1V". There are many ways…

A simple demonstration capacitor made of two parallel metal plates, using an air gap as the dielectric
A surface-mount capacitor. The plates, not visible, are layered horizontally between ceramic dielectric layers, and connect alternately to either end-cap, which are visible.
