Hashtag

Information technology - social media.

A hashtag is a piece of data attached or incorporated into something - including a hash symbol "#" - to help identification, referencing or location.

For example, on social media, a user might incorporate "#treasury" into a posting, to identify the posting as being of particular interest to treasurers.
