2. Those are certainly the most-commonly known meanings.

Reading the wiki page on Number sign reveals some interesting meanings. Such as:

Chess notation: # after a move denotes checkmate, being easier to type than the traditional ‡.

Copy writing and editing: technical writers often use three hash signs ("###&quot as a marker in text where more content will be added or there are errors to be corrected.

Medical shorthand: # is often used to indicate a bone fracture. For example, '#NOF' is often used for 'fractured neck of femur'.

In linguistic syntax, # before an example sentence denotes that the sentence is semantically ill-formed, though grammatically well-formed. For instance, "#The toothbrush is pregnant" is a grammatical sentence, but the meaning is odd.

I need to remember the copy-writing one, because there are times when I need a place name (or a new person's name) and don't want to lose my train of overall story-telling thoughts.
