The English phrase 'hashtag' is translated into Chinese as 话题标签 (huàtí biāoqiān).
话题标签 refers to a tag that includes a hash sign. On social media platforms such as Weibo, users frequently shorten this term to just 话题 to refer to a hashtag or a trending topic.
Meaning: a tag with a hash sign (noun)

What does it mean word for word?

The term 话题标签 is composed of 话题 (huàtí), meaning 'topic' and 标签 (biāoqiān), meaning 'tag' or 'label'.

  • The symbol '#' itself is frequently called 井号 (jǐnghào) in Chinese, which translates to 'well number' because of its grid-like shape.
  • On platforms like Weibo, hashtags are often enclosed between two hash symbols, such as #topic#, rather than just starting with one.
  • If a hashtag becomes extremely popular, it might be described as a 爆 (bào) topic, meaning it has 'exploded'.
