>The infinity symbol ∞ (sometimes called the lemniscate)

that's what the curve is called
delete yourself

That's what that figure is called. Do you think they called it the infinity symbol or the figure skate before the former made sense or the latter was coined?

Just wait 'til you hear what a "hash tag" is really called.

This. OP is a know-nothing.

>A lemniscate is a plane curve with a characteristic shape, consisting of two loops that meet at a central point as shown below. The curve is also known as the lemniscate of Bernoulli. In the (x, y) plane, the lemniscate can be described in terms of the following general equation: (x 2 + y 2) 2 = 2a 2 (x 2 - y 2)

Why wouldn't it be ok to call it a hashtag? It really has no real name because it's used for different things which each call it something different. In my opinion Hash is the best name because it's not referring to a particular use like pound, octothorpe, number or hashtag. Octothorpe is the worst one in my opinion.

Sharp is a different symbol for music, it's more slanted.

What is the negation symbol "¬" called though?
