Frequently asked questions

Where do the preset limits come from?
They are common public limits: 280 characters on X, 160 for standard SMS and meta description, and 60 for a title tag that stays readable in search results.
Does it count emojis correctly?
Each code unit is counted as the browser interprets it; some compound emojis may count as more than one character.
