In practical use units are often denoted by short identifiers, e.g. V for Volt. These are often used when a value has to be displayed or otherwise represented to a user.

I propose to add such short identifiers to each unit.

Short, and in particular and consistent, unit identifiers make lots of sense. For SenML we had similar challenge and we established an IANA registry for them: https://www.iana.org/assignments/senml/senml.xhtml#senml-units

This registry can be easily extended so that is one viable option.
