Fix qudt:symbol entries #832

Closed fkleedorfer closed 7 months ago

fkleedorfer commented 7 months ago

Assuming that base unit symbols are correct, unless it is obvious, symbols are generated according to these rules and replace existing symbols, except in some cases in which there seems to be an intentional use of a very different symbol (such as 'mil' or 'mas').

  1. use the symbol of the base unit
  2. multiply with a middle dot
  3. divide with a slash
  4. enclose multiplication in the denominator with parentheses
  5. use the same order of units as is used in the localname

(also includes a small number of qudt:ucumCode additions)

We could think about generating symbols, ucum codes, and latex symbols automatically when they are missing. Thus, nonstandard symbols can be realized while changes to the base unit symbols propagate to derived units
