The at sign (@, read aloud in English as "at") is a typographic symbol most commonly used as an abbreviation in accounting and commercial invoices, in statements such as "7 widgets @ £2 ea. = £14". More recently, the at symbol has become ubiquitous due to its use in email addresses.
It is often referred to informally as the at symbol, the at sign, the ampersat, or just at. It has the official name commercial at in the ANSI/CCITT/Unicode character encoding standards.
The origin of the symbol is debated, but is most likely a cursive form of Ä, or possibly à (the French word for 'at').
"_" is underscore

I am fairly sure @ is called 'at sum' and _ is called 'under score'.
