<p>Language values without <emu-xref href="#sec-identity">language identity</emu-xref> can be manifested without prior reference and are unsuitable for use as weak references. Symbols produced by <emu-xref href="#sec-symbol.for">Symbol.for</emu-xref>, unlike other Symbol values, do not have language identity and are unsuitable for use as weak references. Well-known symbols (<emu-xref href="#sec-well-known-symbols"></emu-xref>) are likely to never be collected, but are nonetheless treated as suitable for weak reference because they are limited in number and therefore manageable by a variety of implementation approaches. However, any values associated to a well-known symbol in a live WeakMap is unlikely to be collected and could “leak” memory resources in implementations.</p>
