What does @ and ~ mean at the bottom?

When I'm editing plain text files (not any code files), sometime I see signs like @ and ~ at the bottom in different colors as I scroll, and sometimes they disappear. What do they mean in vim?

The @ sign appears at the bottom when you have a really long line of code (or text) that continues (wraps) to the next line.

the ~ sign is just a place holder that says nothing is on that line (not even spaces or tabs or returns)
