As far as I can tell, # represents a "number", so column named EMP# can be read as "employee number" (or, if you prefer, "employee ID"). Of course, nothing prevents you from putting # anywhere in column name if it means something to you.
SQL> create table testo (col# number, co#lumn number);
Table created.
SQL> select table_name, column_name from user_tab_columns where column_name like '%#%';
TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
TESTO COL#
TESTO CO#LUMN
