I'm using the word\_delimiter filter and wanted to create a type\_table\_path file to store my mappings. Howerver, one of my mappings is for the hash sign (#).

How can I prevent the parser from treating this line as a comment?

```
# Mapping some characters to ALPHA.
@ => ALPHA
# => ALPHA
```

Try `\u0023 => ALPHA`.
