Also, some people in Bulgaria call the '@' sign "кльомба".

An interesting story about this sign, is that it had been used in a medieval
Bulgarian chronicle dated at 1345. In it, the @ symbol is part of the word
'Амин' (amen).

Both cute and interesting.

Note, however, that the article does not distinguish between what the sign is
_called_, and how it is _read_. I call it an "at sign". I read it "at". Now,
in Dutch it's called a monkey tail (said in Dutch, of course). But that may
not be how it is _read_ in Dutch.

I can think of a few English pictograms on the standard keyboard:

^ = Hat

* = Star

# = Hash

~ = Squiggle

{ = Curly

I don't see what 'hash' is a picture of. There is 'cross-hatching' in
illustration, but that's not the same word (and it's specifically cross-
hatching, not just hatching, where the lines generally align). Otherwise
'hash' is either a meat dish or a recreational drug, neither of which look
much like #.
