What all does the symbol @ stand for?

it is a little seen road sign warning that the letter a is up ahead. don't let the people who follow me convince you that it has something to do with delimiting a username from it's relevant e-mail domain. this is bunk. some internet guy (probably Al Gore) hijacked the symbol when he invented the Internets. now we don't know when the letter a is approaching and the world is less safe for it.\n\nand especially don't let them talk you into thinking it means at. why the hell would you shorten at to @ ?? takes less time to write type a "t" then to draw a circle connecting to that "a" - it's all democratic lies.

Its either d or e. It should be a deshielding effect by the pi electrons. There is some gobbledy-gook showing up in my browser so I can't tell d or e is the pi symbol.

™\n\nLook under "Entities for punctuation characters" on the linked site. Can't just put the entity here because it keeps turning it into the actual symbol. =)\n\nThis is the correct (X)HTML way to do this. Some people will probably say to do alt-0153 but that probably won't do the trick.

I cannot tell you the origins of the symbol, but if you want to make it on your computer, do the following :\n\nGo to: Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Character Map. You should find it there (scroll down a bit) where you can copy and paste.\n\nLike so :  ∞

[i]  = I\n[d]s = does (without the s it would be do)\n[t]  = to or the\n[o] = of\n\nAnyway I think all the [ ] are suppose to be abbreviations and these are the most likely.◘

The History of the @ Sign\nIn 1972, Ray Tomlinson sent the first electronic message, now known as e-mail, using the @ symbol to indicate the location or institution of the e-mail recipient. Tomlinson, using a Model 33 Teletype device, understood that he needed to use a symbol that would not appear in anyone's name so that there was no confusion. The logical choice for Tomlinson was the "at sign," both because it was unlikely to appear in anyone's name and also because it represented the word "at," as in a particular user is sitting @ this specific computer. \nHowever, before the symbol became a standard key on typewriter keyboards in the 1880s and a standard on QWERTY keyboards in the 1940s, the @ sign had a long if somewhat sketchy history of use throughout the world. Linguists are divided as to when the symbol first appeared. Some argue that the symbol dates back to the 6th or 7th centuries when Latin scribes adapted the symbol from the Latin word ad, meaning at, to or toward. The scribes, in an attempt to simplify the amount of pen strokes they were using, created the ligature (combination of two or more letters) by exaggerating the upstroke of the letter "d" and curving it to the left over the "a." \n\nOther linguists will argue that the @ sign is a more recent development, appearing sometime in the 18th century as a symbol used in commerce to indicate price per unit, as in 2 chickens @ 10 pence. While these theories are largely speculative, in 2000 Giorgio Stabile, a professor of the history of science at La Sapienza University in Italy, discovered some original 14th-century documents clearly marked with the @ sign to indicate a measure of quantity - the amphora, meaning jar. The amphora was a standard-sized terra cotta vessel used to carry wine and grain among merchants, and, according to Stabile, the use of the @ symbol ( the upper-case "A" embellished in the typical Florentine script) in trade led to its contemporary meaning of "at the price of." \n\nWhile in the English language, @ is referred to as the "at sign," other countries have different names for the symbol that is now so commonly used in e-mail transmissions throughout the world. Many of these countries associate the symbol with either food or animal names. \n\n\nAfrikaans - In South Africa, it is called aapstert, meaning "monkey's tail" \nArabic - The @ symbol does not appear on Arabic keyboards, only keyboards in both Arabic and English. The Arabic word for @ is fi, the Arabic translation of at \nBosnian, Croatian and Serbian - In these countries, it is referred to as the "Crazy I" \nCantonese - In Hong Kong it is generally referred to as "the at sign," just as in England and America \nCatalan - In Catalonia, it is called arrova, a unit of weight \nCzech - In the Czech Republic, it is called zavinac, meaning "rollmop," or "pickled herring" \nDanish - It is called alfa-tegn, meaning "alpha-sign" or snabel-a, meaning "elephant's trunk" or grisehale, meaning "pig's tail" \nDutch - Since English is prominent in the Netherlands, the English "at" is commonly used. However, the Dutch also call it apestaart, meaning monkey's tail," apestaartje, meaning "little monkey's tail" or slingeraap, meaning "swinging monkey" \nFrench - In France, it is called arobase the name of the symbol. It is also referred to as un a commercial, meaning "business a", a enroule, meaning "coiled a", and sometimes escargot, meaning "snail" or petit escargot, meaning "little snail" \nGerman - In Germany, it is called Affenschwanz, meaning "monkey's tail" or Klammeraffe, meaning "hanging monkey" \nGreek - In Greece, it is called papaki, meaning "little duck" \nHebrew - It is shablul or shablool, meaning "s

To get the @ symbol in a web address, first you press the "Shift" button and then press "2" (on the left side of the keyboard, not on the side of the numbers).

As others said, it means "geek" in what is called "leetspeak".  The "3" stands for "e" because it looks like a backwards "e".  Check the links below for more about leetspeak.
