In today's paper (Star Ledger) it said that the ITU established
a new code symbol for "@". It is the letters A and C run together.
Larry take note.

I saw that myself. The new character (the first since the WWII era) is
called the "commat." Weird name; I would assume a character so named
was a combination of the Morse characters for a "comma" and the letter
"t." However, the "commat" is a combination of the letters "a" and "c."
Why don't they call it the "atsign," which is what it is supposed to represent?

For anyone who missed it, here's the story:
