All in a name

Hasha

The name Hasha was picked, because the two characters #a is easy to remember. But RFC952 Says that a Domain name must be a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.). That means that the # character could not be used within the domain name, so it name "hash" was used instead.

Symbol

The # character usually prefix of a number, and is known as the a "Number Sign".
In Unix shells, # is placed by convention at the end of a command prompt to denote that the user is working as root.

Function
