U+FF03 Fullwidth Number Sign
U+FF03 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.
The glyph is a wide version of the glyph Number Sign. Accordingly, its width in East Asian Text is fullwidth. In bidirectional text it is written as end of a European number, e.g., a currency symbol, from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+FF03 offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The symbol # is known variously in English-speaking regions as the number sign, hash, or pound sign. The symbol has historically been used for a wide range of purposes including the designation of an ordinal number and as a ligatured abbreviation for pounds avoirdupois – having been derived from the now-rare ℔.
Since 2007, widespread usage of the symbol to introduce metadata tags on social media platforms has led to such tags being known as "hashtags", and from that, the symbol itself is sometimes called a hashtag.
The symbol is distinguished from similar symbols by its combination of level horizontal strokes and right-tilting vertical strokes.
