Support for @ Symbol Added to Morse Code

Morse code is entering the 21st (20th?) century by adding the "@" symbol used in e-mail addresses. The new sign, which will be known as a "commat," consists of the signals for "A" (dot-dash) and "C" (dash-dot-dash-dot), with no space between them. Apparently this was the first time in several decades that a new sign was added. Next up in 2050, Morse code support for emoticons
