(лигатура, означающая английское «at»)
For example. Vladimir@yandex.ru - in English it is read as Vladimir on Yandex. The official name of the symbol is commercial at.
Originally used in payment documents on the spot 'at a price'. For example. 10 gal of oil @ $3.95/gal (10 gallons of oil at a price of 3.95 US dollars per gallon). In RuNet, there were many equal options - krakozyabra, zakoryuchka, frog, ear and others. True, at present they have practically disappeared, and the "dog" has spread all over the Runet and has remained.
The code combines the Latin letters A and C and reflects their joint graphic writing.

Dog
The name "dog" was spread in connection with the appearance on the computer of the game, where the @ symbol ran around the screen and, in the script of the game, meant a dog. At the same time, in translation from the Tatar (and some other Turkic languages on the territory of the former USSR) "et" means "dog".| Ukraine England America France Italy Korea Spain Turkey Esperanto | snail |
