How do I use the dollar sign notation (i.e. $xyz$) to send a string to the database that has a pound sign on either side of it?

How do I use the dollar sign notation (i.e. $xyz$) to send a string to
the database that has a pound sign on either side of it? 

According to this post:

I should use a double pound to send the literal pound. Given this sql
statement:

 <select parameterClass="map" resultClass="string">
  SELECT Name FROM Band WHERE Name = '12##34$BandName$56##78'
 </select>  

Which of the two choices below should I see in my log files?

 A) SELECT Name FROM Band WHERE Name = '12?78' 
 B) SELECT Name FROM Band WHERE Name = '12#34?56#78' 

Thanks,
Ron
