What's the HTML character entity for the # sign?

Question

What\'s the HTML character entity for the # sign? I\'ve looked around for \"pound\" (keeps returning the currency), and \"hash\" and \"number\", but what I try doesn\'t seem to

Answer 1

For # we have #.

Bear in mind, though, it is a new entity (IE9 can't recognize it, for instance). For wide support, you'll have to resort, as said by others, the numerical references # and, in hex, #.

If you need to find out others, there are some very useful tools around.
