I’m having trouble getting tags with special characters to work. For example, I might have the following tags: development, f#. Now, I create urls for the tag as follows:
<a href='/tags/{{$t | urlize }}'>{{ $t }}</a>
This works for development, but not for F#. The link created has an href of f (and not f%23, or f#).
I see running hugo does generate public/tags/f#/ , but going to
all are failing with a 404, page not found.
Is there something I’m missing?
@ashic On road for work, but perhaps this will provide some insight:

Thanks, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. I’ve noticed that I can view the page at:
site.com/tags/f%23/
(note the trailing / ). However, with href={{$t | urlize }}, the href still spits out “/tags/f”. I’m guessing ‘#’ is being treated differently? I’m seeing the same behaviour with preserving taxonomy values set to true, or false.
Hmmm. Well, the hash has a special meaning in URLs 
Have you considered using “f sharp” as a tag instead?
In the end, I went with href=/tags/{{replace $t “#” “%23” | urlize }} . The special case for # solves the issue.
