The use of the phrase pound sign to refer to this symbol is found from 1932 in U.S. usage. Before this time, and still outside the U.S., the term pound sign was used to refer to the pound currency symbol (Â£) or the pound weight symbol (lb). An alternative theory is that this name arose from the fact that character encodings used the same code for both the number sign and the British pound sign Â£.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The poundal (symbol: pdl) is a unit of force that is part of the footâpoundâsecond system of units, in Imperial units introduced in 1877, and is from the specialized subsystem of English absolute (a coherent system). The poundal is defined as the force necessary to accelerate 1 pound-mass at 1 foot per second per second.
