Got me.  I'm not seeing anything in the Orca code that outputs the word 
'symbol'.  Something might need fixing in 
speechdispatcherfactory.py:speakCharacter.  It might need a call to 
chnames.getCharacterName(character), but I'm really afraid to touch 
anything in that module.

You should be able to modify the 'punctuation' table in 
punctuation_settings.py.  To do so in your 
~/.orca/orca-customizations.py file, you would just import 
orca.puncutation_settings and then modify 
orca.punctuation_settings.punctuation to your heart's content.  Let me 
know if that works - if so, I probably should write up something for it 
on the WIKI.
