Questions people ask
Do spaces count as characters?
That depends who is asking. Twitter, SMS and most form limits count spaces; some academic and print limits do not. Both numbers are shown so you can use whichever applies.
Why does an emoji count as more than one character?
Many emoji are stored as several units of text. This counter uses the number of visible characters, which is what a length limit usually means, but some systems count the underlying units instead and will see a larger number.
