Question

Libby wrote an email to her friend. She pressed Shift and the number key 2 together to enter the email address. Which symbol did Libby type?

Answer 1

Libby typed the ' @ ' symbol.

Answer 2

When Libby wrote the email to her friend, she typed the '@' symbol. When pressing SHIFT and 2 together, it pastes this aforementioned symbol. However, there isn't any specific name for the symbol. As a matter as fact, there are several names that this symbol goes by.

The most famous name this symbol is called is the "at symbol" or the "at sign". In terms of a formal name, "commercial at" would be a good one.

Here's an example with the symbol:

[email protected]

This is essentially telling the email server where to send your email. From this, they'll know it's located at brainly.com! It's pretty neat.
