* africa, asia, europe, southamerica: In commentary, be more consistent about using № (U+2116 NUMERO SIGN) for number sign, as opposed to "No.", "Nº", "#", etc.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to use an obscure Unicode character that a lot of people won’t be able to display. It’s one thing to use proper letters with diacriticals. But “No.” is perfectly clear. The proposed character is just a rather ugly ligature for that abbreviation. paul
