Do you want to know what the symbol @ is called in other countries? Click here!
For starters....
It is that curled tail on the @ that strikes people around the world, though it reminds them of many different animals. Danish and Swedish snabel-a see an elephant's trunk. The symbol's coiled look reminds people in many countries of a snail's shell. French has escargot, Italian chiocciola, Korean dalphaengi, Indonesian keong, and Hebrew shablul, all meaning `snail'. Hungarian kukac (that's `-ats') sees a worm.
