I suspect that this issue has come up before, if anyone has pointers and/or
archives of relevant material, it might save going over the same ground again.


What names are in use for the non-alpha characters in the ASCII code?

For example, ! is often 'shriek' or 'bang'
			 # is 'sharp' or 'pound'

			 and so on.


And on a related topic, does anyone know of names for the IPA (International
Phonetic Alphabet) symbols?   I have looked in reference materials for the
IPA and in the Encyclopaedia Britannica to no avail.
