It's possible that somewhere along the line, the character is getting
translated to a multibyte Unicode format. (UTF-16 or -32, most
likely.) The hex value for the pound sign is 00A3, which includes a
null character, which the MySQL C API will interpret as end-of-string.
From my own experience I'd point out that if your using a terminal to
do something like SSH, that too needs to be set to the correct encoding
as well. Data being imported (be that any method, even cutting and
pasting) can also be an area of strife, I suffered greatly when when
producing a copious country and region listing system with everything in
the correct character sets for a website that had up until then been
ISO-{whatever}.
