CJK people usually write notations like H, O, Oâ‚‚, COâ‚‚, and so on and
at the same time, usually also write and speak names like 二酸化炭素 or
ì´ì‚°í™”탄소 if I remember correctly for instance for Carbon Dioxide instead of
speaking "Carbon Dioxide" unless you need to communicate with person
who speaks other languages.

With regards,

Ienup
