Question

I try to tweet a message on twitter with the “#”. The problem is, that when I tweet for example:

<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=#some message">To Twitter</a>

or

<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=&#35;some message">To Twitter</a>

then the “some message” will be not displayed – everything after # or # will be deleted.

Exist there any way, how to append to message the hashtag?

Answer 1

Use %23:

<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=%23some message">To Twitter</a>

# is HTML encode, %23 is URL encode.
