$E°_{cell}$ is the EMF of the cell for a reaction with respect to standard hydrogen electrode(SHE). So why don't we represent $E°_{cell}$ or $E_{cell}$ by $\Delta$ symbol, in the same manner in which we represent $∆H°,∆G°,∆S°, etc$ with respect to initial absolute zero temperature?

2$\begingroup$ By convention, we write $V$ or $E$ to represent a difference in potential. Adding a $\Delta$ would refer to the difference in potential difference. $\endgroup$ – Zhe Oct 7 at 13:27
