Do you mean the Earth's mantle (geology) or something else? A couple of likely answers:
- If you mean the Earth’s mantle: it is predominantly a solid (but convects and behaves viscously and contains localized partial melt). The usual chemistry/phase symbol is (s) for solid. In text or diagrams you can write e.g. "mantle (s)" or "mantle — solid (visco‑elastic; locally partially molten)". If you need to indicate melt fraction, use φ (phi) and note the percent melt.
- If you mean a different kind of "mantle" (a garment, or some other context), please clarify and I’ll give the appropriate symbol or label.
