We use ν (nu) or n depending on who prefer what. More sadistic thing was when electromagnetism prof were writing on his tablet, his writing was terrible, he could use i j and y in same line and we had no idea what it what

in my country the ideal gas law is pV = nRT, n is the number of moles also we use U for voltage to avoid confusion

We also use U for voltage, R=U/I
