In many parts of the world, including most of the Commonwealth nations, Russia, and most of Europe, number sign refers to the numero sign (№).

For example, with the numero sign, the written long-form of the address " Number 22 Acacia Avenue " is shortened to "№ 22 Acacia Avenue ", yet both forms are spoken long.

Typographically, the numero sign combines the upper-case Latin letter N with a usually superscript lower-case letter o, sometimes underlined, resembling the masculine ordinal indicator.

The Oxford English Dictionary derives the numero sign from Latin, the ablative form of (" number ", with the ablative denotations of: " to the number, by the number, with the number ").

In Romance languages, the numero sign is understood as an abbreviation of the word for " number ", e. g. Italian numero, French numéro, and Spanish and Portuguese número.

The numero sign, despite its widespread usage internationally, is not a standard alphabetic symbol in virtually any European languages.

The numero sign is not a typographic symbol character, but the word número ( number ) abbreviated per the Spanish typographic convention of superior letters — letras voladas ( flying letters ) and voladitas ( little flying letters ) — wherein the final letter ( s ) of the abbreviated word are written as underlined lower-case superscripts: n < sup >< u > o </ u ></ sup > and N < sup >< u > o </ u ></ sup > ( singular ), n < sup >< u > os </ u ></ sup > and N < sup >< u > os </ u ></ sup > ( plural ), which is in the same fashion as other flying letters like F < sup >< u > co </ u ></ sup > for Francisco ; M < sup >< u > a </ u ></ sup > for María ; f < sup >< u > do </ u ></ sup > for firmado ( signed ).

The numero sign also indicates an ordinal number, 1 < sup >< u > o </ u ></ sup > primero ( first ), 2 < sup >< u > o </ u ></ sup > segundo ( second ), 3 < sup >< u > o </ u ></ sup > tercero ( third ), and so on.

Typographic conventions for abbreviations are like those of Spanish, but superscripts are rarely used, except in the numero sign.

Although the letter " N " is not in the Cyrillic alphabet, the numero sign is typeset in Russian publishing, and is available on Russian computer and typewriter keyboards.

On typewriters and computers that support the degree symbol or ( preferably ) masculine ordinal indicator, a digraph starting with " N ", such as " N °" or " Nº ", may suffice as a substitute for the numero sign, but only if it is to be presented exclusively within visual media, in a typeface and sizing that results in a passable approximation of the numero sign.

Such digraphs are inappropriate for representing the numero sign in computer data, in general.

In HTML, the numero sign ( if it cannot be entered directly ) may be represented by or.

Legacy data encoded in ISO / IEC 8859-1 ( Latin-1 ) or other 8-bit character sets may also have represented the numero sign by a sequence of " N " followed by the degree sign ( U + 00B0 degree sign ).

Implementations working with legacy data should be aware of such alternative representations for the numero sign when converting data.
