Hi,
It looks like VoiceOver does the same thing with  the number or hash 
symbol,also known more commonly as the hashtag nowadays. I’ll explain the best 
I can.
So, for example, if you type #email #computer or any word with the number sign 
in front of it, VoiceOver reads that symbol as hashtag. This makes since in 
things like Twitter, but it does it everywhere. LOL. There are other things 
that use that symbol, and not just hashtags for social media. Crazy stuff. :)
