I can give some abbreviations for large numbers. 

dr: C

ds: UnC

dt: DoC

du: TrC

dv: QaC

dw: QiC

dx: SxC

dy: SpC

dz: OcC

ea: NoC

eb: De(cicentillion)

ec: UnDe

ed: DoDe

ee: TrDe

ef: QaDe

eg: QiDe

eh: SxDe

ei: SpDe

ej: OcDe

ek: NoDe

el: Vc

em-u: Un-NoVc

ev: TgC

ew-fe: UnTgC-NoTgC

ff: QagC

fp: QigC

fz: SxgC

gj: SpgC

gt: OcgC

hd: NogC 

hn: DuC

10^903 would be TreC, 10^1203 would be QanG, 10^1503 would be QinG, 10^1803 would be SesC, 10^2103 would be SptG, 10^2403 would be OctG, 10^2703 would be NonG and 10^3003 would be Mlnln (one of Jonathan Bowers' -illions [the actual name is millillion or millinillion). 10^2595 would be QaSxgOctG. I definitely understand that you will keep the current abbreviations, especially more so if you're concerned about or dislike long ones. Your third point in the message where you explained why you're using the current abbreviations makes sense, as "zzz" requires typing three letters instead of a high number. However, there's the hypothetical scenario where someone who plays Console Idle and at the same time is curious about the actual orders of magnitude that in the game are represented by "ar", "aff", "ck", "bl", etc. Even if it's unlikely to happen, that's not 100% guaranteed, especially when you're not in the lives of every single Console Idle player.

I can always add an option to switch between naming systems for the curious players.

However, given the long names such as QaSxgOctG, this thing will be ugly when being displayed, such as when hovering over a hardware, or in store, and because of how big it is, it will cause breaking points on some small screens, making it even worse.

Finally, imagine such names being displayed in achievements, players will not catch which number is bigger.

As for QaSxgOctG, I don't think I'll ever get to see that amount of credit unless you go really crazy. Only by 1^426 we'll see acronyms with six letters (UnQagC).
