Bill Evans used to use a European 7, the one with a slash through it used to distinguish it from the European 1 that looks a lot like our 7. I got used to that as a shorthand Maj7 symbol. It worked especially well for min/Maj7 chords. Anything's good, as long as there's concensus. I'd use Bill's notation now, if others knew it and adopted it. Instead, I use triangles, not universally loved but pretty well understood and accepted.
