Engliosh signs .. Need a lil help

These signs/characters whatever: ¤%&/$€{ are called characters, right?

Engliosh indeed

 

But are they called characters?

 

Or letters ... Like if I type > *¨´ < would that be letters or characters?
Or any other special word for it?

 

Gotcha Ron! Thanks!

 

I have about 0.001% of my brain capacity working working at this hour.
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed, yet I have to finish this hehe.

 

Uh...Brian,

I think you can rely on Ron, as being one of the many characters here at Wilders, he knows of what he speaks. Of course there is a plethora of them here.... especially in 10F. If you will send me a self addressed carton w/lots of postage on it I will forward the voluminous list.

Cartoon, ok - Carton, no

 

Aren't you 1st on the character list Mr. Ed? (photo at 11.)
Ps. If you doubt me Brian N, just ask Maj. Marja and Nat about his character.

 

They are called, as a group, characters when typed..but you could also call them symbols.
