Yes, for other situations than over-the-board results, the symbols remain as they are:
H = half-point bye ; B = full-point bye ; U = unpaired (withdrawn).
I have searched recent tournaments, and I cannot find other situations, but I am sure there are symbols for:
forfeit win ; forfeit loss ; whatever else.
Yes, some of these symbols will be based on English words.
But these other results are relatively infrequent.
At least by using + , - , and = for over-the-board results, we can reduce the use of symbols based on English words for most of the crosstables.
