Do you mean? :

>  ( )

brackets

>  [ ]

square brackets

>  { }

braces

>'    like for example char x = 'a';

quotes (when written on paper by a human usually the open quote leans
outwards sort of like a tiny backslash, and the close quote goes the other
way, and if you see particularly flambouyant handwriting, the open one will
look like a little 6 with the circle at the bottom filled in, and the close
one ill look like a little 9, again penned in as with the 6)

>""  like for example *char s = "abc";

double quotes (written by hand as above)

>`

not really sure! Maybe this is meant to be an accent for other non-English
but Western languages?

>~

tilde (two syllables, doesn't rhyme with Wilde or anything)

>can anybody help ?


Did I even understand the question correctly?
