http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Symbols says:

    If you were wondering what the symbols #, /, @, +, ~ or * mean, read
    http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium_stream_format

Unfortunately, searching for # puts you back at the front page (bug in
mediawiki I guess), but @ and * and Hash should now redirect to the
right page.
