Character & in language files

Good morning,

Does the "&" character have a special function in the text of language messages ?
Ex :
_C_MNU_EDIT_CUT C&ut\tCtrl+X
_C_MNU_EDIT_COPY C&opy\tCtrl+C

See the documentation on keyboard shortcuts

Thank you ohrenkino for your response.

I thought that for shortcuts were designated with words from the end of the message.
Example for the 2 messages cited:
Ctrl+X for_C_MNU_EDIT_CUT C&ut\tCtrl+X
Ctrl+C for_C_MNU_EDIT_COPY C&opy\tCtrl+C

These hotkeys can be accessed with the Alt key.
So, &Edit>C&ut
would be accessed with Alt-E-U
The hotkey should be unique in each context. So e.g. in the Edit menu there should not be another menu item that can be accessed with U.
