About the sharp
Medieval musicians wrote the letter b in two ways: rounded for B flat and squared for B natural. The squared form developed into the sharp, which now raises any note by a semitone.
On a sharp the horizontal strokes slant upwards so they do not hide the lines of the stave. The number sign # looks similar but has no connection to it.
