Hi guys!
In Enghlish_US way, you have no certainties.
# symbol, I've always named 'hash',
but from recent research I found which is also named:
number, pound, octothorpe, octothorp, octothorn...
which is the exact name for it? (In computer way naturally...)
Thanks for reply.
Computer way? Which computer?
If you mean ASCII representation, "#" would be 0010 0011.
If instead you prefer EBCDIC, "#" would be 0111 1011.
hash
Wikipedia says that he use of "hash" for this sign may have come
from Baudot, which predated both ASCII and EBCDIC.
