English term or phrase: number (#)
I've just tranlated an index and there is a column with the heading # before the letter A column.
The # listing includes terms like 2D Draw control panel, 3P option and whatever begins with a number.

But in Portuguese, I believe this sign (#) doesn't make much sense, so I've replaced it by the word "Números".

Is that ok?

thank you all.
