【No. 0187】'#' is not 'sharp'

Jun 23, 2015 10:02
Most Japanese people regard '#' as sharp, and call sharp.

However, actual sharp is '♯.'

In Japan, the official name of '#' is "igeta," but this name is not popular.

By the way, '#' is called pound or number key in the US, and called hash key in the UK.

I have never say igeta, but sometimes say 'hash.'

With the rise of Twitter and "Hashtagging" most people these days say "hash".

Aha, Twitter seems to have contributed to spread of the name 'hash.'
