Hashtag Halloween Costume

The # is never used for lb and is referred to as the hash. It is the first part of a hashtag (# xxxxx, where the xxxx is the tag) Only printers/typographers might use "octothorpe". According to Wiki, it is only called a "hashtag" if there is no space after the #. So #packard is a hashtag; but # packard is not.

Si le terme anglais hashtag reste couramment utilisé, l’Office québécois de la langue française suggère plutôt l’utilisation du terme mot-clic depuis 2011, ce qui n’a pas manqué de susciter de vives réactions. Les Français, quant à eux, lui préfèrent le terme mot-dièse. Certains puristes diraient que mot-dièse = sharp word.
