If you can't find the at sign "@" hold the 'alt' key and use the numeric keypad to type 0 6 4 and when the alt key is released you'll have the @ character.
From my days of working on a computer that used octal, an ASCII @ was 100. This converts to 64 in decimal. There is something weird in that there must be a leading zero. I don't know why.

you can just do Alt 64.
No need for the leading 0,
not in a text editor not in word not in Cmd shell etc....

I knew it would be something simple!
