"What the gently caress??" indeed, but about the way you wrote all those numbers.

What ½ looks like depends on the typeface you use :shrug: I mean it looks like ½ on this keyboard but it might look like ½ on your screen IDK.

I only have a work computer (ATM*) and my work involves a lot of numbers - document numbers, order numbers, item numbers, etc.

You may think it's dumb, but it's historical and still being done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign#Usage That is why it's called a pound sign in the US. Everywhere else, a pound sign is £ .

I always call it "sharp" but that's because I learned to read music before I was on computers.

i got in a fight with some loser at the unicode consortium who tried to tell me that the sharp and the number sign are two totally different glyphs with entirely different lineages

i told him that his pathetic organization is only well-known because they managed to weasel their way into a monopoly on assigning codepoints to emojis and that i hope that it's an albatross around their necks for the rest of their pathetic existence and blocked him
