Are there any user documentations on how the hashtag bar works? I.e. how placing hashtags at the end of a posts create an expandable bar at the end of the post and also how hashtags with certain characters like #å in #blåhaj will normalized to ascii and placed there.

The #JoinMastodon doc on https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/posting/#hashtags doesn't mention this.
