this is an asterisk: *
what are the names of other symbols like these, for example: @ & ^
and I don't want to know what they stand for, I want to know their official name.

My favorites are the Permille Sign and the Interrobang.

In your computer look for the "Character Map"... in my computer (windows xp) is in (follow the pat):
Start. All Programs, Accesories, System Tools, Character Map
You can also find it using the "Search" tool in your Start menu.
At the very bottom of the character map window the name of the character you are selecting will appear.
When you get the name of the characters go to wikipedia.org and look for their meaning.
