   I found a problem / bug with the linkification of twitter #hashtags, that contain one or more special characters.
   Example: #Utøya (Norwegian)
   The solution might be changing the regex, so that it also selects a broad range of special foreign language characters.
   A nice list of foreign language characters ca be found on:

   This regex might solve 2 problems:

   1. The 'hyphen problem' in hashtags;
   2. The 'foreign language characters problem' in hashtags.

   '/(^|\s)#([\-\pL\w]+)/u'

   In the code:

   $msg = preg_replace('/(^|\s)#([\-\pL\w]+)/u', "$1#$2$3 ", $msg);

   So hashtags like #hour-s and #Utøya are so far now linkified.

   Best Regards, Dick
