In North America the symbol used for a receptacle is a circle with two parallel lines drawn through it. The two parallel lines are started out side of the top of the circle and drawn down to the bottom of the circle and stopped at the outside of the circle.

The symbol for a duplex receptacle in electrical schematics is typically shown as two parallel lines with a half-circle or semi-circle on top, representing the two outlets in the receptacle. It is commonly used to represent a standard electrical outlet in building plans or diagrams.
