Here is the way I am currently doing it:

SymbolExist=: 3 : 0
(0 s: 0)~:(5 s: _6 s: i.0 s: 0)i.<y
)

But it's kind of slow... Any improvements ?

Thank you to R.E. Boss and Raul for your answers on pairs.

I have another problem to resolve:

How can I know is a potential new symbol exist without creating it as a
symbol ? Something like:
0 s: 0
123
  SymbolExist '`some unexisting symbol'
0
0 s: 0
123

So now I know this symbol does not exist and it was not created.
