When you are writing lengths in short form, you can note feet and yards with tick-marks. For example, 1',6" is one foot six inches. I am marking out yardages of fabric, and I would much prefer a one-symbol mark than having to use the letter abbreviation every time, but I don't know if there is a yards mark in this set. Is there a standard symbol for yards, or only the "yds." abbreviation?

I specifically need length yards, not square yards. I'm making clothes, not sails, so square yardage isn't how I'll be buying fabric. :-)

There is no symbol for yards, just the abbreviation yds.

For many years I have been using my own symbol for square yards. For square yards; I use a square with a plus sign in the middle. It is simple but it never gets confused with the square foot symbol of a square with a vertical line through the top line.

There is no universally agreed symbol but the following are used:
square yards, square yard, square yds, square yd
sq yards, sq yard, sq yds, sq yd
yards/-2, yard/-2, yds/-2, yd/-2
yards^2, yard^2, yds^2, yd^2
yards², yard², yds², yd²
