Open the original- What it measures
- Microsoft's Windows 10 section then lists the spoken names for each symbol, with alternatives such as "hash symbol" and "pound sign" for the same mark.
- What it does not show
- Most is Microsoft's word. The page lists the symbols it supports; it does not claim every character on a keyboard has a spoken name.
