The highlighting of comments is the Scintilla lexer, which highlights several similar versions of properties files and is hard coded to use #, ! and ; for comments. There is not way to change that without changing Scintilla, which is a separate project from Geany, you can raise a request here. But since all such properties files tend to use the extensions .ini, .conf etc interchangably its hard to tell them apart and I suggest it should remain general despite the fact that an occasional error may occur in highlighting.

The symbol parser is hard coded to use # and // as comments. There is no way of changing that without changing the ctags parser. The parsers mostly come from the universal-ctags project. The Geany one is the parent of the uctags one, but that has been changed to look for ; as well. There is an ongoing exercise to align Geany's parsers with uctags. @techee, maybe this should be added to the TODO list if it isn't already.
