Officially known as an “asperand,” the at sign separates the recipient’s name from the domain name; for example, jsmith@abc.com. In 1971, Ray Tomlinson of Bolt
Degree The degree sign is a typographical symbol that is used, among other things, to represent degrees of arc (e.g. in Geographic coordinate systems) or degrees of temperature. The symbol consists of a small raised circle, historically a zero glyph. In the case of degrees of arc, the degree symbol follows the number without any intervening space. In the case of degrees of temperature there should be a space between the number and the degree symbol, as in 10 째C.

Its a fraction bar; with a superior and inferior digit it is used to construct fractions on a line that look more like fractions and not like two digits and a slanted mark strung together.
The virgule serves a variety of uses. Not only does the mark form the fraction bar when all glyphs in a fraction share the baseline (known as a level fraction) but it serves a separator in certain contexts, such as between files and folders in a Unix filesystem path, or between lines of verse when typeset as prose.
Curly brackets – also called braces (US) or squiggly brackets (UK]) are sometimes used in prose to indicate a series of equal choices:[citation needed] “Select your animal {goat, sheep, cow, horse} and follow me”. They are used in specialized ways in poetry and music (to mark repeats or joined lines). The musical terms for this mark joining staves are accolade and “brace”, and connect two or more lines of music that are played simultaneously. In mathematics they delimit sets. In many programming languages, they enclose groups of statements.
