I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110

I would like to include "@" symbol in a custom symbol but when i add the character it does not remain after redefining the symbol. Does this character require special handling?

Yes,

To use & or @:  Type twice in note e.g., && or @@ .

    & and @ are used for formatting in Creo.  Here is a list of text tips that I have documented:

    • Overwrite Dimension: @O 
    • Box around text: @[***@] 
    • Superscript: @+***@#
    • Subscript: @-***@#
    • Super/Subscript {0:***}{1:@+***@#)@-***@#
    • Multiple formats: 
      • To edit the style of one section of a note, first click to select the entire note, then click again to select just the section you want to change. You can then RMB -> Text Style... and change size etc. as required. 
      • This works directly with separate lines within a note, but to change just one part within a line you must first separate that section by adding {1: and } around the relevant text: 
      • {1:Large Text} Small Text
      • Separate Line
      • Then close the note editor and proceed as above. 
    • Round Parameter Value:  add [.X] after the parameter name, X being the number of decimals. 
    • Leader Location on Note: add @O to line on note. 
    • Use & or @:  Type twice in note e.g., && or @@
