If # is the character to start a hashtag, what is the character to start a geohash?

For instance, if we use ∆, then every time somebody writes ∆, it turns into the City name with a link that opens all notes that tagged that city.

Same character can bring up a list of locations just like @ brings up a list of user names.

Ideas?

That's already been used for hashtags. It wouldn't be able to know if you are looking for a hashtag or a geohash

That's only ambiguous for a tiny number of geohash, sucks to live in #lol

And then maybe even be smart and when some searches for a hash of a known city or country name, return anything with the corresponding geohash too.
