        @moem I've tried US, Australia, and Canada English on my phone, and they all have the correct # symbol. Only UK English is wrong.

        Is this a bug? And what is the correct way to report the bug?

          @barryt Honestly I wouldn't know whether it's a bug! It might as well be a design choice.

            I use a Nexus 5 with English (UK) settings. The "," key gives me "#" if held down for more than second.

              Switching to numerical keypad the "#" gives me "#".

                @cliffcoggin but the OP is talking about the telephone dialer, not any keyboard layout.

                  @barryt You may want to check the translation:

                    I'm seeing 'No.' on a Volla phone with UK English.

                    If its a design choice I's say people in the UK are used to seeing a hash sign, and will often be told in automated phone services to 'press the hash sign'.

                    I just read that in the USA its also known as a 'pound sign' 😧

                      @cibersheep I was not aware of this website. Could you please give a brief description of its purpose?

                        @barryt : anyone who wants to and has the time can help to translate Ubuntu Touch to other languages.
                        If you're using the UK version, and you would rather see # instead of No. in dialer app, you can suggest a change.

                            @alter Thanks for the information. I have made a suggestion for a change to the hash symbol. We shall have to wait and see if anything happens.

                                  @cherrie The No. next to the 0 gives the same output and should work as #
