What is this repo about?
As a software developer, when you are working with machines, you don't have to talk to them (normally). However there are times when you need to talk to a human colleague about the code you just created, it is then when sometimes it becomes difficult or confusing how to pronounce symbols such as [, ;, ~... This repo will try to collect all these characters and symbols for humans and the proper way to pronounce them in English and Spanish.
