Hello everyone!
This is a reminder of special characters' names. It could be useful to know this, for example because most search engines allow searching of only a limited number of special characters, so we often have to search them by their name.
Here is a list of the most common ones:
| Character | Name |
|---|---|
| ! | Exclamation |
| ? | Question mark |
| # | Hash (Number sign) |
| & | Ampersand |
| * | Asterisk |
| ~ | Tilde |
| ^ | Caret |
| / | Slash |
| \ | Backslash |
| Vertical bar | |
| - | Minus |
| _ | Underscore |
| ` | Grave accent (Backtick) |
| ' | Single quote |
| " | Double quote |
| () | Parenthesis |
| [] | Brackets |
| {} | Braces (Curly brackets) |
| <, > | Less than, greater then |
| = | Equal sign |
| @ | At sign |
| $ | Dollar sign |
| % | Percent |
| . | Full stop |
| , | Comma |
| : | Colon |
| ; | Semicolon |
