Does anyone know what this symbol means?

Posted by: AlexTheCat123 on 2019-05-04 11:29:12 I am currently repairing a Mac Classic II that I picked up a few weeks ago and I have found a capacitor that appears to be burned on the bottom of the logic board. Of course, I need to replace the cap (C39), but the schematic for the logic board shows a weird symbol after stating the value of the capacitor. A picture of the symbol can be seen in the attachment below. The symbol looks sort of like a combination of a P and an F, so would it be correct to assume that this means picofarads? I can't seem to find any other mention of this symbol on the internet anywhere. Thanks! Alex
