Abstract: This paper discusses the importance and contributions one of the most popular characters or symbols of the English Language, which is now not an official alphabet but once played a significant role among all the English Alphabets. Despite its removal from the list of official alphabets, ‘&’ still continues to be used everywhere from literature, formal and informal languages to even computer programming. This explains why ‘&’ is a potential candidate to be brought back to the list of Alphabets.
Keywords: Symbols, Alphabets, Literature, Programming, Potential.
