Hey Alvin,
Fine universe selection returns a list of QuantConnect.Symbol objects. Symbols are the unique identifiers for securities in QuantConnect. What you might be referring to is the ticker for a security. You can learn more about symbols vs tickers in the Security Identifiers documentation. Here's a template algorithm which shows how to access a security's symbol and a security's ticker.
