Testing Hash in Meta Description

This is a test to see if the hash symbol shows in the META description when just using the plain hash symbol or whether it shows when using the HTML entity version.

The decimal HTML entity symbol for a hash sign is # and the hex version is #

Interestingly in some countries the hash symbol is actually called the pound sign and it is positioned on a different key on the keyboard. This is particularly true in the United States.
