Numero sign

The Numero sign (U+2116) is used in many languages to indicate ordinal numbering. For example, instead of "Number 12 Privet Drive", one could write "№ 12 Privet Drive".

The symbol is a combination of the Latin letter "N" with the masculine ordinal indicator (or superscript "o"). On typewriters and computers that do not support this symbol, it is acceptable to substitute it with the trigraph "No.".

On Russian computer keyboards, № is often located on the "3" key, instead of the number sign (#).

In HTML, the numero sign (if it cannot be entered directly) may be represented by № or №.
