Re: "at" symbol
I seem to recall that the right-hand AltGr key (to the right of the space bar) is used to access some symbols like the @ character. Try typing AltGr and the 2 key at the same time. Does the 2 key have an @ sign on it (next to the 2, not above it)?

Re: "at" symbol
Somewhere buried in the user settings is the option to change the "nationality" of the keyboard. Obviously it doesn't change the keys, but it will switch the "meaning" of the keys to what your used to. Even the UK and US have slightly different keyboards, with the @ and : swapped and the US layout has a # where the £ is on a British layout keyboard.

You don't really need that symbol anymore. Unless you're a greengrocer.

Hola
Also for a € sign use Alt-Gr and "E"
| is Alt-Gr and "1"
# is Alt-Gr and "3"
~ is Alt-GR and "4"
¬ is Alt-GR and "6"
