Coincidentally I posted this twitter challenge a week ago:

    #I #wonder #how #many #of #my #haX0r #friends #can 
    #figure #out #how #I #made #all #these #hashtags
    #unclickable.
None of the hashtags appear clickable as they normally should, except for the #unclickable one, which I left as normal as a bit of a joke.

Twitter doesn't highlight # followed by a space, among other characters it ignores unless they terminate in an alphabetic character. #10 won't get highlighted, but #10d will. When I realized that, I just added a zero-width space after the #.

EDIT: Interestingly pasting it to a HN converts it to a normal space character, so I had to edit and delete them. Didn't really expect that one.
