It is the # character - comments out until end of line.

There isn't a way to comment a block of lines directly in PowerShell - need
to use a here string. See the post "Commenting out a Block"

As other has mentioned, comment character is "#" but it's just for
commenting out oneline.

There is no block comment characters in PowerShell v.1.0
but there is a useful Newsgroup post for a walk-around.
