cerquilha


Explanation:
No Brasil, o mais comum é chamar-se este sinal de cerquilha ou jogo-da-velha. Nunca ouvi ninguém chamá-lo de cardinal por aqui.

Veja-se:
"Portuguese: cardinal, used in mathematics notation to represent the cardinality of a set, sustenido ("sharp sign"), jogo-da-velha ("tic-tac-toe"). Also known as "cerquilha" in Brazil. because it resembles a picket fence (cerca)."
