An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering discipline, based on traditional conventions.
The number of standards leads to confusion and errors.[2]Symbols usage is sometimes unique to engineering disciplines, and national or local variations to international standards exist. For example, lighting and power symbols used as part of architectural drawings may be different from symbols for devices used in electronics.

For the symbols below: Q is output, Q is inverted output, E is enable input, internal triangle shape is clock input, S is Set, R is Reset (some datasheets use clear (CLR) instead of reset along the bottom).
There are variations of these flip-flop symbols. Depending on the IC, a flip-flop may have: 1) one or both outputs (Q only, Q only, both Q & Q); 2) one or both forced inputs along top & bottom (R only, S only, both R & S); 3) some inputs may be inverted.
Standard electrical circuit symbols. Diagram of standard symbols used to represent electrical equipment in electrical circuit diagrams. The symbols are arranged in six rows of sets of three. From top, these rows show symbols for: conductors, power supplies, resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors. These symbols have varied over time and from country to country, and so various national and international standards have been devised to ensure consistent use of standard symbols that can be recognised worldwide. These symbols conform to British Standard 3939 (BS 3939).

And if you just want to look one up to see what it is, there are plenty of
images of the common ones. that are out there for free . (Though I am still sticking to wiggley resistors and logic gate symbols that are not squares personally )
Its beginning to sound like the US standard is zig-zags. Which I quite like. But I am with Mike on capacitors, I much prefer the European symbols for them. I also prefer line hops to dots on junctions.
Interestingly I used what I now know to be the very European symbols (rectangle resistors etc) for the Arduino Evil Genius book and I have not had any comments about the symbols used. Comments about mismatches between circuit and breadboard layout (blush) but no complaints about the format of the schematics. And its very much sold as a US book.
Some applicable standards may include IEC 60617 (a.k.a. BS 3939) and ANSI Y32 (a.k.a. IEEE 315). Of course, like most standards, these are not available free, a fact which I have never quite been able to square in my mind. Maybe we need an open-source standards movement XD
If we can believe Wikipedia, the box is the international standard for resistors. I don't have a lot of difficulty adapting to the various resistor and capacitor symbols, I actually have more heartburn with the wire junctions. My personal practice (after MIL-TFD-41) was to always use dots to indicate a junction, whether I used hops or not (I seldom use hops these days). I also found some references (including the Wikipedia article above) which recommend using only 3-way junctions for clarity. Not sure how I feel about that either, tends to add clutter.
I like to have a variety of symbols because it makes it easier to find the component I am looking for. If they are all boxes then I have to read them to figure out which box I am looking for (and I will probably forget what I was looking for in the first place...). Boxes make it easy to put them in quickly in CAD and to crowd them together on the schematic, but variety in the symbols does help readability. ff782bc1db
