Yeah, in Dutch it's "apenstaartje" (little monkey's tail), although the last decades, it's becoming far more common to use the English "at".

it's "Klammeraffe" in German, spider monkey, and figuratively a small monkey clinging to / clasping someone or something.

It's "zavináč" in Czech -- pickled herring. If you buy them in a jar, they're rolled up, looking a lot like that symbol.
