OK.I was thinking about it....I get it.Look :
it means Ohm.The ohm has this symbol: Ω. ..But I feel that your Ohm is a little deformed. :D
Wikipedia : Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.

Hello Hannah,
I think that 几 should be one of the 100 most frequently used Chinese words. It basically means SEVERAL
几本书 Several books (1<几<10)
十几本书 More than 10 books, (10<十几<20) or 10 plus
二十几本书 More than 20 books, (20<二十几<30) or 20 plus
几十本书 Several dozen books, (20<几十<100)
几百本书 Several hundred books (200<几百<1000)
几千本书 Several thousand books (2000<几千<10000)
Going back to your sentence,
我有十几张邮票。I have more than ten stamps.
教室里有几十个学生。There're several dozen students in the classroom.
我有十几年的工作经验 I have 10 plus years of working experience. (10+ years of experience)
我有二十几年的工作经验 I have 20 plus years of working experience. (20+ years of experience)
