Ensure consistent usage of symbols to represent quantities of bits and bytes. For example, the unit symbol for "bit" often appears with a prefix and is denoted by the lowercase letter "b" when abbreviated. When using prefixes like kilo (k), mega (M), giga (G), etc., it becomes crucial to use the correct case to avoid ambiguity. The IEEE 1541 standard provides guidelines for representing these quantities and unit symbols clearly and unambiguously.

IEEE 1541 recommends a set of units to refer to quantities used in digital electronics and computing:
