A hashtag like #Consumption is read aloud as follows:

"number sign consumption"

Maybe we can wrap the number sign into a something like:

<span class="hashtag" role="text">
  <span class="sr-only">Hashtag</span>
  <span aria-hidden="true">#</span>
  Consumption
</span>

To make sure it reads as "Hashtag Consumption", instead of "Number sign consumption". Maybe we can even skip the "Hashtag" part and just hide the number sign to the SR.

Hashtags are also recommended to be CamelCase (e.g.: "#ClimateChange" instead of "#climatechange"), so maybe we should add some warnings in the editor to make sure content creators make the hashtags accessible.
