The at sign, in American braille, is space-u, then dot 4. If you have 8 dot
braille on, or if you press backspace with h before you enter the character,
you can use backspace with dot 4 (backspace acts like dot 7 in 8 dot braille,
enter acts like dot 8).
As to iOS, the braille grade in use on the Braillenote is completely unrelated.
Any translation problems you might have are on iOS itself, but iOS7 should have
made things much better. To not use contractions, press space-g while your bn
is acting as a terminal.
