Hi, How about setting up a dictionary shortcut? Like for example, many people use this feature on there iPhone when texting. You would write I don’t know., and it would expand out to I don’t know. You could use 2 symbols like gl and would expand to your hash tag. I know its not very elegant, but, I think it would work for you.
