I'm just curious.
How is this character "@" called in your language?
Just "at" in Dutch like in English or if you want to you can say "apenstaartje" in English "tail of a monkey".
In Esperanto its "c^e", the c^ should actually be a c with a circumflex (^ symbol) but I can't type that from this keyboard. It's pronounced "che" and is means "at".

Do you mean something like this? ĉe
in spanish is called "arroba" pronouncing it like it is written but with a strong "r" which may be hard to pronounce if you speak english... lol
In french is called most of the time "arobase", sometimes "at"
In czech its called "Zavináè" - "rolled pickled herring" or "rollmop" - dictionary translation...

In Poland @ is usually called "małpa", sometimes "at"
Arroba
A - as in marvelous
RR - the english h - a head
O - as in Object
BA - as in probably
Arroba is a measurement 14,7 kilograms
used in cattle market exchanges... not commonly used by other stuff...
why @, don't know...
No such character in our langauge Hindi.. we call it by it's english name
In danish its know as "snabel a"
a meaning a and snabel meaning "elephants trunk"

I have to add that "małpa" means "monkey", so it is similar to the Dutch one.
Some people (language purists) also call it "przy" which means "next to".
Arroba in Brazil (Portuguese Language).
It is also an unit of weight equivalent to about 32 pounds.

In Norwegian it is "Krøll-alfa" or just "at" like in england
When I think about it, "krøll-alfa" is very strange spelled. Its not fit so good in the Norwegian language, but that is what we say...

Here in Brazil is exactly equal.
In Russian and Ukrainian that item usually called 'ñîáàêà' (dog in English).
Or just 'at'.
