Here is some information about muting tweets on Twitter.

Muting is case-insensitive, for example, if you add PARROT to your muted list, all occurrences of parrot whether written in the capital letters or small letters will be muted.
You can include punctuation such as question mark, exclamation point, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, etc, within a word or phrase. Punctuation at the end of phrase or word is not necessary.
Muting is applied to both the word and hashtag. For example, if you add Barmy to the muted list, both the Barmy and #Barmy will be muted from your notifications.
To mute a specific account or a person add the username with the @ symbol to the muted list, like, @elonmusk. It will mute the account notifications, but won’t mute the account.
Muting is possible across all Twitter supported languages.
You can view the list of muted words, phrases, emojis, hashtags, usernames, and can remove them from the list anytime.
