Number sign is a name for the symbol #; it is the preferred Unicode name for the code point associated with that glyph. Several other names for this symbol are used in the United States and Canada. In most other English-speaking countries, it is called a hash.
The number sign’s Unicode code point is U+0023, and its ASCII value is 0x23 (hexadecimal).
In many parts of the world, including Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Russia, “number sign” is the name of the “número” sign № (Unicode code point U+2116), which is often written simply as No. In those countries, the # sign is not used to indicate a number.
