$A++ is a deformation of "A plus" which is itself the common way to shorten "A plus tard". It is for the French what "see you" is to "see you later" in English.

And for the Australians, what "see ya" is to "see ya later mate" (or "see ya later cobber").

Like the JAPH, the $A++ is just an arbitrary canonical program. An $A++ does not emit anything, it just increments the variable $A. Traditionally, it's a parting word to end an email with, so it should be short.

The first $A++ was composed by BooK 📕 on Friday Oct 15 1999: 

$A = eval q.@{[.."0,"x$A.qq|0]}|

Not bad for a first attempt! A bit more interesting than the first JAPH. ;-)

As indicated above (and in more detail at The Lighter Side of Perl Culture (Part III): Obfu) the $A++ has a long and proud tradition in Obfuscated Perl culture, and so is definitely worthy of an emoji. Here are my first attempts:
