The character that looks like:
| |
--+--+--
| |
--+--+--
| |
is a "number" sign or a "hash" sign. It is NOT repeat NOT a pound sign.
A pound sign is what appears on a five pound note, and looks like:
--
/
---+---
---+---
/
-------
(or some more ornate version). How would you like it if I kept
saying:
dollar include stood eye oh dot aitch
(I actually say "hash include ...") ?
