For example, you might want to say the word “toots”, but use the hashtag “toot”.

To do this, place a U+2060 WORD JOINER before the “s” in “toots”. Example: ⁠s.

If you're using or (i.e. or desktop), you can add the following line to ~/.XCompose to give yourself a keyboard shortcut:

<Multi_key> <w> <j> : "⁠" U2060 # WORD JOINER

Then just type Compose, then W, then J.

That will only work on systems that allow HTML. Mastodon doesn't.

Also, a workaround if somebody has issues with inputting the unicode(which, now I think about it, might have effects on Text-to-speech?): <span></span>S results into S

This should work with most systems, at the very least it works on
