All the Swedes I’ve talked to refer to the # sign as square. Like “to get your balance you press star 1 2 0 square and then call.”Design Comments In the UK it’s called a hash. I get a lot of funny looks when I set up conference calls here — ‘press the 6 hash to mute your line’… reply Some in Sweden call it brädgård instead of fyrkant (square), but all systems using DTMF in Sweden says “fyrkant” in the instructions. reply That’s nuts calling it a square. It’s a hairy rhombus. reply I just remembered that automated phone answerers here call it “the pound sign.” I had no idea what they meant for the longest time. reply Your name * E-mail * The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly.
