Martha,

Hash Tags can be whatever you want them to be for as long as you want them to be.

As for a gedcom it depends on which type of gedcom you create since they are proprietary their gedcom tag would start with an underscore _HASHTAG and would not be in the 5.5 standard GEDCOM. If you wanted to send it then you would have to select a gedcom that includes it or you would customize the gedcom and add it.

Good Morning Cathy,
Thank you for the explanation on where the Hash Tag data is located.
If it is 'inside' the fdb file, then they should not have disappeared.
I am curious about one other thing. I am using them as a temporary way of marking people. I use tagging for marking people who fit different requirements with regard to my research.

Are the Hash Tags meant to be an alternate permanent identifier or just temporary like I am using?

Reason I ask is whether they would be included in a gedcom and if so, what happens to them when someone who does not use Legacy opens the gedcom?

I hope the question makes sense.
