It is referring to the # key.

>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign

In the United States, the symbol is usually called the pound sign and the key 
bearing this symbol on touch-tone phones is called the pound key. In Canada, 
this key is most frequently called the number sign key. In most other 
English-speaking countries the symbol is usually called the hash, and the 
corresponding telephone key is the hash key. Beginning in the 1960s, telephone 
engineers have attempted to coin a special name for this symbol, with variant 
spellings including octothorp, octothorpe, octathorp, octotherp, octathorpe, 
and octatherp;[2] none has become widely accepted.
