If this is a code change: I have written unit tests and/or added dogfooding pages to fully verify the new behavior.
If this is a new API or substantial change: the PR has an accompanying issue (closes #0000) and the maintainers have approved on my working plan.
Motivation
Per CommonMark 0.31.2 §4.2 (ATX headings), an optional closing sequence of # characters on an ATX heading must be preceded by at least one space or tab. For example, # foo# renders as <h1>foo#</h1> because the closing # is not preceded by whitespace.
Previously, parseMarkdownContentTitle in packages/docusaurus-utils/src/markdownUtils.ts stripped trailing hashes using:
Because \s* matched zero whitespace before #+$, document headings containing trailing hashes without preceding spaces (e.g. # Learn C# or # Learn F#) had their trailing # stripped and became "Learn C" or "Learn F" in document metadata (browser <title>, sidebar label, breadcrumbs, pagination).
This PR separates the custom anchor ID removal from the ATX closing sequence stripping and requires preceding whitespace (\s+#+$) for closing hashes, preserving language and library names ending in # while continuing to strip valid ATX closing # sequences and custom anchor IDs.

According to CommonMark 0.31.2 section 4.2, an optional closing sequence
of # characters on an ATX heading must be preceded by at least one space
or tab. Previously, parseMarkdownContentTitle used `\s*(?:\{#*[\w-]+\}|#+)$`
which matched trailing # characters even with zero preceding whitespace,
causing document titles such as `# Learn C#` or `# Learn F#` to drop their
trailing hash and become "Learn C" or "Learn F".
This separates custom anchor ID removal from ATX closing sequence
stripping and requires preceding whitespace (`\s+#+$`) for closing hashes,
preserving words and identifiers ending in # (such as C# or F#).
Closesmeta#12644.

parseMarkdownContentTitle now removes a trailing custom heading ID before removing closing hashes. Tests cover titles that end in literal # characters, including titles with custom IDs and ATX closing hashes.
Changes: Markdown heading title parsing
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Title cleanup and test coverage packages/docusaurus-utils/src/markdownUtils.ts, packages/docusaurus-utils/src/__tests__/markdownUtils.test.ts
The parser removes a trailing custom heading ID, then removes trailing closing hashes. Tests check that literal trailing hashes are retained in titles with and without custom IDs or closing hashes.
The change fixes ordinary C# titles but produces incorrect derived titles for two uncommon heading forms. Merge risk is low, with these bounded title regressions requiring owner awareness or correction.

Explanation
The title "fix(utils): preserve trailing hash in markdown heading titles" matches the main change. The PR changes parseMarkdownContentTitle in markdownUtils.ts so trailing # characters that are not preceded by a space stay in the parsed title, such as in "Learn C#". The title names the affected area (utils), the fix type, and the behavior changed. The title cites issue number #12644 in the PR title text; the issue number is a PR reference and does not affect the assessment. The title is specific and concise.

Match the closing # with spaces or tabs only.
The closing-hash cleanup at packages/docusaurus-utils/src/markdownUtils.ts:338 uses \s+#+$. In JavaScript, \s matches U+00A0 (no-break space). A heading such as # Title\u00A0# therefore loses its final # in the derived contentTitle. CommonMark requires the closing sequence to be preceded by spaces or tabs only, so the rendered heading keeps the #. The PR does not introduce this: the base regex \s*(?:\{#*[\w-]+\}|#+)$ strips the same input. Replace \s with [ \t] in that branch so the cleanup follows CommonMark.

Update the closing-hash cleanup in the markdown title derivation to match only
spaces or tabs before trailing hashes. Check the base regex in the same
derivation as well: if it also removes a hash preceded by a no-break space,
constrain that closing-hash alternative so such headings retain the final hash.

Unescape \# in parsed heading titles.
For # Learn C\#, parseMarkdownContentTitle returns Learn C\#. CommonMark renders \# as #, so the heading shows Learn C#, but the derived title keeps the backslash. The previous regex produced Learn C\, so this backslash predates the PR. Remove backslash escapes of ASCII punctuation from the title after the closing sequence is stripped.

Keep the literal # when a custom heading ID follows it.
For # Title # {#id}, the new cleanup returns Title. The heading renders as Title #, so the derived title drops a visible hash. The old pattern returned Title #. Apply the closing-sequence strip to the raw title before removing the ID. Then Title # {#id} keeps Title #, and Learn C# {#learn-csharp} still returns Learn C#.

Strip closing hashes that have no preceding whitespace.
For # ###, the captured title is ### after .trim(). The new /\s+#+$/ needs whitespace before the hashes, so it does not match. The derived contentTitle becomes ###. The docs and blog metadata code uses it as the page title and sidebar label. CommonMark renders this heading as empty. Before this change, the result was an empty string. Allow the start of the string as a closing-sequence boundary:
