I'm not American, but they have all gone to bed! < and > = Angle brackets / and \ = Slash and Backslash ( and ) = parentheses ( or just brackets) ' = quote, or quote mark " = double quote { and } = braces or curly brackets * = asterisk, or star # = number sign, or pound ( or out of the US, it's a hash)

< and > = less than and greater than / and \ = forward slash and backslash ( and ) = parentheses ' = single quotes " = double quotes { and } = brackets * = asterisk # = number sign / hash
