Thanks,
I had tried [35( with [makefilename %c] before. Needed a [symbol] before sending, though. When I print (in parallel) to the console I get C#, when I send to the canvas I get C$ on the canvas.
It has been annoying me for years.
I don't know if it is a bug in canvas or something that's done on purpose. And if it is on purpose how I could make it work?
I tried C # or C# but still get C$. I can't be the only one having this issue. How does anyone else do this?

Hi Ingo, I'm a newbie to Pd, using purr-data on Linux. I put together a patch:
[35(
|
[makefilename C%c]
|
[symbol
|
[print C-sharp]
and it seems to work OK for me. See attached screen-shot. (slight difference, I connected the symbol box in parallel, rather than series but I don't see that matters. I haven't worked out how to show that using Ascii-art.)
