If '#' is an octothorpe, does that mean '+' is a quadrothorpe? And is '-' a bithorpe or a unithorpe?

Sorry, let me amend that..
† would be a trithorp.

I'm counting "plus-building lines". so, octo has four pluses, each of two lines, octo. double dagger has two of two, quad. dagger has one plus and one line, tri. plus has two, bi. dash has one, uni. period has none, nilthorp.

That's the most reasonable answer I've seen yet!

The world is full of ridiculous answers to reasonable questions. I like to turn things around.
