URI fragment
The fragment of a URI is the last part of the URI, starting with the # character. It is used to identify a specific part of the resource, such as a section of a document or a position in a video. The fragment is not sent to the server when the URI is requested, but it is processed by the client (such as the browser) after the resource is retrieved.
