If you look around your keyboard, you will notice a number of keys with characters on that you may not know the name of. In this post I will tell you the most common names for those esoteric characters. I am only looking at those characters that appear on my UK qwerty keyboard. I will explore those special characters and symbols that don't appear on the keyboard in future posts.¬
This is called 'not' and is most commonly used in propositional logic and mathematics. It may not appear on all keyboards.

'Vertical bar' or 'pipe' is used in mathematics and computer programming. It can be 'broken' or 'unbroken' as shown.

'Caret' a.k.a 'hat', 'wedge' and 'chevron' is used in mathematics, logic, computing and to indicate ordinals in Italian.

'Tilde' is used in a variety of ways, such as indicating an approximation as well as the usual suspects: mathematics, logic and computing.

IP: I did consider including those, but I figured that most people knew their names. That is why I chose the more esoteric ones.
*LOL* Cracks me up to see the descriptions to these icons...but I'll be honest...it's been a little while since I could remember the pipes symbol.

Hi,
Thanks for all the informative stuff which you mentioned in your post its very helpful to me.
Thanks once again.
I never knew what to call them If I have not visited this blog. Such character names are unusual. I usually call the "caret" as up arrow.
How about the characters and special characters that appears when press alt+ (number combination)?
My laptop doesn't have that 'not' and 'pipe' symbol but thank for sharing this info about these keyboard symbols and their functions.

The carret symbol is used as well for numbers becuase at uni they ask you sill questions 2^+2^ and it goes up squared cubed etc i did learn something it took me ages to find it as well because on my laptop i could not add 2 cubed + 2 cubed
Kevin: I have also used the caret symbol to show exponents on old word processors. Nowadays we can use superscript.
Fernsehen hat viele wichtige Auswirkungen, die erste ist, dass es eine Sucht erzeugt. Viele Zuschauer übermäßig sehen Fernsehen, stundenlang am Ende sitzen und gedankenlos auf den Fernseher starrte. "Unter Lebens mehr peinliche Momente haben unzählige Gelegenheiten, bei denen ich in einem Raum im Gespräch beschäftigt bin, während ein TV-Gerät eingeschaltet ist, und ich kann für das Leben von mir nicht in regelmäßigen Abständen einem Blick über auf dem Bildschirm zu stoppen." (Television Addiction) Diese Zuschauer können nicht helfen, aber auf dem Bildschirm stehen und starren, als ob sie unkontrollierbar zu ihr gezogen werden. Das Fernsehen ist als Flucht- und Ablenkung von den Problemen des täglichen Lebens bedeutete. Die Menschen können nicht helfen, an den Fernseher sitzen und entspannen und ihre Aufmerksamkeit abzulenken von sky komplett den Kämpfen und Entbehrungen weg von ihren Tag zu Tag Fragen. Einige Zuschauer zugeben, dass sie in einen Raum gehen und unbewusst den Fernseher einzuschalten, ohne einen zweiten Gedanken. Diese unkontrollierbaren Sucht wird zu einer zweiten Natur viele Zuschauer.
