Sure, it works for every language. Just like how lots of languages use ! to show an exclaimation on a sentance, or ? to indicate a question.

- weinzierl 13y agoAfter thinking about it: For languages with no spaces or other word separators hashtags probably don't work that well. They might work for human readers but I think they are mostly useful because they can be automatically extracted or converted to links. I wonder if hashtags are used in Chinese or Japanese? The fascinating thing about languages is that there is no rule without exception. When it comes to ! and ? even a familiar language like Spanish is suddenly strange.
