How to use # in href without terminating rest of the link in link tag

Question

Hi!
So! I wants to use # symbol in the middle of text as link of a tag.

Basically I'm trying to download a string using javascript which is just a csv string. I wants to download that string as a csv file.
I'm using the code below to achieve that but symbole "#" is casing issue because it is terminating rest of the string because that is how href works

csvContent = "data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,sep=;\r\n a;b;c#;d;e;f "
var encodedUri = encodeURI(csvContent);
window.location = encodedUri

In above code, ";d;e;f" will be ignored and file will not be downloaded completely
Can anyone please help me to download string which includes # in it as text file?

I know that I can't use # inside url. But I was unable to find any solution which will encode string that # will not be in url. I needed to have # in the csv file
Now i'm using encodeURIComponent which is working fine
