The at sign, at least in American, is dots 4 and 7 (backspace with 4). To enter this, you must turn on 8 dot braille, which I leave on all the time anyway to avoid grade 2 mistranslation problems. Hit space-g to get into uncontracted, then space-2-3-6 for 8 dot braille. You should now be able to enter the at sign with no problems. This also helps for capital letters, braces, the underscore, and other characters that use 8 dots.
