Everyone, how do I type an hash-tag? - Louis The Proud Britisher - 03-01-2014 09:15 PM
And before you say "It's not 'an' hash-tag", it's Old English to say "an" before a word beginning with "h".
Sometimes, the old ways are the best. :-)

You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag.
Simply type a phrase of the form “#topic.†Do not put any spaces in the phrase that you want to turn into a hashtag, because the hashtag begins with the “#†and ends with the first space.
When creating a hashtag for something that may consist of two or more words its a good idea to use the "CamelCase" format to maintain legibility.
The idea is to join words with each words initial letter capitalized. For example if I wanted to create a hashtag for south Africa, I would type out: #SouthAfrica instead of #southafrica
