What is its proper name? I know that ÷ has a proper name other than “division sign” and ¶ is a pilcrow.
Also what is the proper name of ÷ I know it was mentioned on the board but I didn’t find it in my search results.
The @ sign is called “petit ecargot”. (little snail)
Germans call it “Klammeraffe” (literally translated: clamp or clinging monkey).

Strudel? Cabbage? Vortex?

This is not a criticism of the OP, as it is pretty darned difficult to do a search on a single character symbol with a four-character minimum search argument.)
“at sign” doesn’t have any sense of elegance to it. Plus one can’t amaze people with one’s persipacity by using a ten cent word when a fifty cent word would be far more appropriate.
