Tweet a message with the '#' (hashtag)

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?

Solution

  • Use %23:

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

    &#35; is HTML encode, %23 is URL encode.
