here's a handy ceramic "EIA code" conversion chart to help you out with any other values:

thanks that little triangle was throwing me off

i'm sure the odd triangle symbol stands for something (ie: manufacturer logo, electronic symbol, etc...) but all in all, it's pretty mundane and pointless.

the "40" value next to the triangle just means its rated for up to 40 volts. that's all.

the Z next to the 473 is a tolerance code, Z meaning "very cheap" or +80%/-20%

if you really want an education on everything this is to know about what's on a capacitor, have at: http://www.wikihow.com/Read-a-Capacitor
