It's interesting trivia, though!

Not to make an issue about these unimportant bits of trivia, but I think people's experiences with the # symbol are different depending on where they are from, and by the times they lived in.

...but couldn't find one that included that character. Having typed that,
it occurred to me that I could look at the source of the Wikipedia page,
where I found they specify Lucida Sans Unicode, which does include it. Using
that for my email does show it. Problem solved! I normally read email using
plain Arial, which does not include it.

Actually Arial does include the Music Sharp Sign as they call it in the
Character Map app. So does Courier New, Segoe UI, and Tahoma, and no doubt
others. This is Windows 10 - maybe earlier versions didn't include it.

Thanks. Tried each of those, including re-trying Arial. Not in that or Courier
New. It is in Tahoma. I don't have Segoe UI. This is in XP.
