It&#x27;s a hashtag.
It&#x27;s a newly popular way of refering to something, often used by teens.
It can also hyperlink to a page or blog that the word after was refering to.
Eg
That match was so good #englandfootball

It can be used to denote weight in pounds, or its used as a symbol of the word number as in #7, pronounced number seven. It can also mean a sharp note in musical writing. Then there is also this whole twitter hashtag thing but I refuse to twitter on principal. Twit by the way is another word for idiot.

It is called a hash sign

In the US it means "number" like #4 is number four (but we rarely use it that way in the UK).

It is also musical notation for a sharp note (NOT a flat, as Jenny says!)
