Just like that. What's the problem?

The # character is only special when it begins an unquoted word. In that case, use quotes:
Code:
var="reports #2"

MAN(6)								   Games Manual 							    MAN(6)

NAME
man - macros to typeset manual SYNOPSIS
nroff -man file ... troff -man file ... DESCRIPTION
These macros are used to format pages of this manual. Except in and requests, any text argument denoted t in the request summary may be zero to six words. Quotes " ... " may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If t is empty, the special treatment is applied to the next text input line (the next line that doesn't begin with dot). In this way, for example, .I may be used to italicize a line of more than 6 words, or .SM followed by .B to make small letters in `bold' font. A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non- indented paragraph. Default units for indents i are ens. The fonts are R roman, the main font, preferred for diagnostics I italic, preferred for parameters, short names of commands, names of manual pages, and naked function names `bold', actually the constant width font, preferred for examples, file names, declarations, keywords, names of struct members, and literals (numbers are rarely literals) L also the constant width font. In troff L=B; in nroff arguments of the macros .L, .LR, and .RL are printed in quotes; preferred only where quotes really help (e.g. lower-case literals and punctuation). Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font- or size-setting macros. The -man macros admit equations and tables in the style of eqn(1) and tbl(1), but do not support arguments on .EQ and .TS macros. These strings are predefined by -man: *R `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff. *S Change to default type size. FILES

troff(1), man(1) REQUESTS
Request Cause If no Explanation Break Argument .B t no t=n.t.l.*Text t is `bold'. .BI t no t=n.t.l. Join words of t alternating bold and italic. .BR t no t=n.t.l. Join words of t alternating bold and Roman. .DT no Restore default tabs. .EE yes End displayed example .EX yes Begin displayed example .HP i yes i=p.i.* Set prevailing indent to i. Begin paragraph with hanging indent. .I t no t=n.t.l. Text t is italic. .IB t no t=n.t.l. Join words of t alternating italic and bold. .IP x i yes x="" Same as .TP with tag x. .IR t no t=n.t.l. Join words of t alternating italic and Roman. .L t no t=n.t.l. Text t is literal. .LP yes Same as .PP. .LR t no Join 2 words of t alternating literal and Roman. .PD d no d=.4v Interparagraph distance is d. .PP yes Begin paragraph. Set prevailing indent to default. .RE yes End of rel- ative indent. Set prevailing indent to amount of starting .RS. .RI t no t=n.t.l. Join words of t alternating Roman and italic. .RL t no Join 2 or 3 words of t alternating Roman and literal. .RS i yes i=p.i. Start relative indent, move left margin in distance i. Set prevailing indent to default for nested indents. .SH t yes t="" Subhead; reset paragraph distance. .SM t no t=n.t.l. Text t is small. .SS t no t="" Secondary subhead. .TF s yes Prevailing indent is wide as string s in font L; para- graph distance is 0. .TH n c x yes Begin page named n of chapter c; x is extra commentary, e.g. `local', for page head. Set prevailing indent and tabs to default. .TP i yes i=p.i. Set prevailing indent to i. Restore default indent if i=0. Begin indented paragraph with hanging tag given by next text line. If tag doesn't fit, place it on separate line. .1C yes Equalize columns and return to 1-column output .2C yes Start 2-column nofill output * n.t.l. = next text line; p.i. = prevailing indent BUGS
There's no way to fool troff into handling literal double quote marks " in font-alternation macros, such as There is no direct way to suppress column widows in 2-column output; the column lengths may be adjusted by inserting requests before the closing MAN(6)
