opps!! I forgot my basics...Keyboard Symbols

The following chart displays the character symbols, name and Latin-1 number on a standard keyboard in their approximate position on the keyboard. Most characters from any Roman based language can be created on any computer using the American Standard Code for Information Interchange or ASCII using a single byte. Most computers and software also recognized American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) formatting standards as well

 

~ tilde (rhymes with Hilda)
! exclamation mark
@ I just know it as the 'at' symbol
# hash
$ dollar (don't tell me you didn't know that one. ;-D )
% per cent
^ caret (I think that's the correct spelling and I think it's pronounced cah (as in cat) and then ray so cah-ray)
& ampersand
* asterisk
( left bracket
) right bracket
_ underscore
- hyphen
= equals
+ plus (bet you had to go to school to learn the last two - lol)
{ left parenthesis
} right parenthesis (these are also called "curly brackets")
[ forgotten
] also forgotten but it's the right one! I think they are just known as square brackets but do have a proper name.

\ backslash
: colon
; semi-colon
" inverted comma
' apostrophe
< left angled bracket or left chevron
> right angled bracket or right chevron
, comma
. fullstop
