Frequently asked questions
Do spaces count as characters?
Usually, yes — most platforms’ limits include spaces. Both figures are shown.
Why does my phone show a different count for emoji?
Some systems count the invisible parts of an emoji separately. This counter counts what you see as one character.
What are common character limits?
X (Twitter) posts: 280 characters. Google titles show about 50–60 characters and descriptions about 150–160. SMS: 160 characters (70 with emoji or non-Latin letters).
