What Are Hashflags?

Hashflags images that appear after a #hashtag, and are enabled on Twitter for specific occasions or events. These are now more commonly referred to as custom Twitter Emojis. hashflag-sample Above: A sample of hashflags from Eurovision 2015

Platform Support

At this stage, only the Twitter.com website, and the Twitter iPhone app both support Twitter Emojis / Hashflags.

TweetDeck and the official Twitter app for Mac do yet support hashflags. Third party Twitter apps such as TweetBot, Twitterrific or Echofon do not have access to implement Hashflags, and instead show the regular #hashtag, without an image following it.
