Question

I am trying to make @sancorporation in my android application. I have written strings in string.xml e.g "<"string name="cor_name">sancorporation"<"/string>, but I need something like this "<"string name="cor_name">@sancorporation"<"/string>. How to take special symbol in android?

Use ascii value of @ symble is 0040 so try it

for @sancorporation

          <string name="mytest">&#64;sancorporation</string>

           or 
           <string name="mytest">\u0040 sancorporation</string>

\u00A9 is ANSII value of @ symble so you can use it directly.

Maybe this will help

<string name="specialChar"> "@" </string>

You can also try this

<string name="specialChar"> \@ </string>

Edit: Now I notice that you want to write @sanCorporation.

so you can use this in string.xml file:

<string name="corp"> "@sanCorp" </string>
