The symbol {p} denotes a regular polygon. The symbol {p,q} denotes a tessellation of regular p-gons, with q of them surrounding each vertex. The Schläfli symbol can also be used to describe Platonic solids and Kepler-Poinsot solids, and a generalized version describes quasiregular polyhedra and Archimedean solids.

A notation, devised by Ludwig Schläfli, which describes the number of edges of each polygon meeting at a vertex of a regular or semi-regular tiling or solid. For a Platonic solid, it is written {p, q}, where p is the number of sides each face has, and q is the number of faces that touch at each vertex.

Schlafli's Symbol A regular polyhderon is made up from regular polygons of one kind, with a constant number at a corner. A regular polychora is done in the same manner, with polyhedra of one kind, the same at each edge. This symbol can be read as p-gons, q at a corner. So, the dodecahedron is...
