+                    #  $ -- for money
+                    #  @ -- for email addresses and for @ing people
+                    #  # -- for hashtags/social media
+                    #  % -- for percentages
+                    #  «/» -- for quotations
+                    #  / -- for division
+                    #  + -- for addition (can be confused with y final)
+                    #  - -- for subtraction (can be confused with c final)
+                    #  * -- for multiplication
