Not seeing pound signs

I've noticed a few posts where the pound sign is coming out as two question marks. I don't know about my own posts yet (I will test in this post!) but I don't know if it's MN or me.

Ok that ^ was supposed to be a pound sign but on my preview it's coming out as two question marks. Is it just me?
