    Oldie but goodie:

    & [ ] . . /
    | { , , SYSTEM HALTED

    Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
    Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
    Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
    Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
    Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
    Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH!

    “waka” didn’t gain popularity among people, at least not among any I ever heard about, usually it’s angle bracket. I’m quite partial to ‘tic’ and ‘tac’. The rest is standard or at least common, IMO | is pipe and {} braces. * is often called asterisk or star but splat is just better. And # is most definitely not “hashtag”. Here’s an overview of what’s out in the wild.
