Top Tip: Writing hashtags on social media in camel case
When writing hashtags on social media it is best to use camel case – capitalising the first letter of each word. This makes sure that screen readers can interpret them accurately. For example, use #EquityDiversityInclusion instead of #equitydiversityinclusion.
