When reading the schmatics from here or there, I have noticed there are three symbles used for caps.
The·· -||-· ,
the· --|(--·
and finally··--|(-- with a plus at the top.

Which symbol means what kind of cap?

The -||- is like one of the decupling caps· Non polorized...· ??
The --|(-- with the + is a polarized· (like an axle type?)· ??


Can some one please deconfused this for me?

    --||-- is a non-polarized cap, typically a ceramic.

    --|(-- with or without a + indicates a polarized cap, typically electrolyes.
    (The + is there to signify which way it is mounted, and not everyone adds them all the time)
    Sometimes these may be drawn as --||-- but with one of the lines thicker than the other.
