Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:

To write the pound sign or symbol #, try the following combinations:

CTRL + ALT + 3 (or the number where you see the # symbol)

SHIFT + 3

ALT GR (the right ALT on the keyboard) + 3

As long as if you want to write it using the ASCII number:

ALT + 35 (the 35 must be typed using the numeric keypad on your keyboard whenever the NUM LOCK key is activated).
