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


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


Solution

  • You can search it on the individual character at fileformat.info. Enter # as search string and the 1st hit will lead you to U+0023. Scroll a bit down to the 2nd table, Encodings, you'll see under each the following entries:

    HTML Entity (decimal)  #
    HTML Entity (hex)      #
