Default (A) button

I am curious as to what is the (A) button below the auto hand brake (P) button. I have seen this in S7 photos. In Europe.

when you stop at a red light the car's engine will turn off and display the (A). When you take your foot off of the brake pedal the (A) turns off and the engine starts. Saves fuel.

I thought that was the button for the brake hold at a stop light, you wouldn't have to keep your foot on the brake. The Stop/Start button is on the center stack for cars so equipped.

You're right it is the 'Auto Hold' for the hand parking brake..
Same symbol as the auto start/stop which has the same A letter but in a half circle with an arrow..

I'll post my S6 photos with our Gulf specs which is similar to the European specs once i upload them on my laptop..
