What do each symbol mean? (For exponentials)

What do each symbol mean? (For exponentials) - Side view of female friends sitting at table in university library and using sign language

As you know, Clicker Heroes is an idle game all about exponential numbers and... A lot of waiting.
However, when the number gets big, they start representing them with symbols and not letters (for example, 500k = 500,000), and I'm seeing numbers like 71,668%.

Question:

What are the symbols used and their exponential equalivants?
For consistency sake, please also include the metric symbols; K = kilo for numbers in thousands.

Here's a quick version I keep in a note: 

1K=103 , 1M=106 , 1B=109 ,  
1T=1012, 1q=1015, 1Q=1018,  
1s=1021, 1S=1024, 1O=1027,  
1N=1030, 1d=1033, 1U=1036,  
1D=1039, 1!=1042, 1@=1045,  
1#=1048, 1$=1051, 1%=1054,  
1^=1057, 1&=1060, 1*=1063

I do this because don't find words like "Tredecillion," or knowing the basic sequence, as useful as knowing the order of magnitude.

You can quickly see why no one can easily memorize this list: K, M, B, T follow metric then U.S. definitions, q:Q and s:S follow each other but d:D do not. O, N, and U don't have a pair. None of these letters are consistently ordered say by alphabet, only the !...* symbols have a knowable order if you use a US keyboard layout.

What symbol is used for exponential?

The caret (^) is used as the exponentiation operator. Note: The exponent operator should not be confused with the base-10 exponent symbol. An uppercase letter \u201cE\u201d, or lowercase letter \u201ce\u201d can be used as a base-10 exponent (scientific notation) symbol in a numeric literal.

What does each part of an exponential function mean?

exponential function where \u201cb\u201d is its change factor (or a constant), the exponent. \u201cx\u201d is the independent variable (or input of the function), the coefficient \u201ca\u201d is. called the initial value of the function (or the y-intercept), and \u201cf(x)\u201d represent the dependent variable (or output of the function).

What does each exponent mean?

The exponent of a number says how many times to use that number in a multiplication. It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number. In this example: 82 = 8 \xd7 8 = 64. (The exponent "2" says to use the 8 two times in a multiplication.)
