deuterium is not an element (it's heavy hydrogen), so the element symbol is
simply H, but (yes, those chemists again :) we do use D as element symbol
replacement thing...
Not sure about the ethomology, but I guess it has to do that it should be
^{2}H... that is, superscript(2)H... and that does not work well in ASCII...

Not much... T comes to mind for 3H...
These things are not really general...

Yes, chemoinformatics is a fun job :)
