It is just a very interesting thought the came into my mind when I try to document some computer code. All of sudden, I just could not remember what the name is for the little character above the number 6 key. "^", this is it. What do you call it? That might be kids question, but I got those type of questions all the time, both from myself and our co-workers, even I am a software tech guy. :)
So, here we go, I put them into a chart, just for quick reference.
ampersand & asterisk * at @ back quote ` back slash \ braces {} brackets [] carat ^ close brace }
close bracket ] close parenthesis ) colon : comma , curly braces {} dollar $ double quote " equal = exclamation point !
forward slash / greater than > less than < minus - open brace { open bracket [ open parenthesis ( parenthesis () percent %
pipe | plus + pound # quote " semi colon ; single quote ' slash / tilde ~ underscore _
Not much, hope it helps a little bit.

Kevin, I was kicking myself for not remembering the name of that character off the top of my head as I too am in the computer field. The tilde is another one of those characters that I see a lot of basic level pc users not sure what to call it. Great post!
Kevin, this is very helpful. It is funny, one knows its location in the keyboard but not its name. ( I love the tilde ~) Thanks for sharing and welcome to Searchwarp. Looking forward to more of your articles. ~Nenita~
