I don't its name or its use. ;-(

I've seen it used as a nose in a smiley:

So there you go. It is now a smiley nose. :wink:

[Tdol]

It's a 'not'symbol, apparently, so it's ¬ a nose. ;¬)

it looks like to me "giyeok" in hangeul alphabet, which is letter of korean.
the vertical part of the symbol should be a bit longer though.

and here's the exact "giyeok" -----ㄱ

BTW how do you say "*" button on the phone?
sometimes it's been annoying me after i forgot the name.

In British English we call * the star button and # is hash. I don't know if Americans have different words, but I'm sure someone will let us know.

In North American English, # is called pound. The pound key or the pound button. It took me forever to figure that one out after a recorded message had said, "Now press the pound key". Huh? I ended up calling the operator and asking, "Excuse me, could you tell me what the pound key looks like, please?"

[Tdol]

It doesn't look anything like a £.

[Casiopea]

It doesn't look anything like a £.

That's because you've got it upside-down.

[Tdol]

So it should be €.

[mrgoh]

So it should be €.

I usually say sharp button for #, which somehow has hardly caused confusion.
Well, now I'm wondering how should I say for it. :( :wink:
