According to the Unicode Standard 6.2, this is u0023, which is designated 
Number Sign, and also known equivalently as:

pound sign, hash, crosshatch, octothorpe

I have always called it octothorpe, mostly because it is just such a great word!

Just for the record: "£" is a pound sign, "#" is a hash.
