Questions and answers
Do spaces count as characters?
Yes, almost everywhere (X, SMS, Instagram, online forms) spaces and line breaks count. The counter shows both numbers: with spaces and without spaces.
How are emojis counted?
Each emoji you see counts as one character here. Some platforms count certain emojis as two, so leave a small margin when you are close to a limit.
How many characters fit in an SMS?
One SMS holds 160 characters without accents. Accents and emojis switch the message to another encoding with a 70-character limit, and longer messages are split into several parts.
Is my text saved or sent anywhere?
No. Counting happens in your browser. The text is kept only in this browser, so it is still there if you reload the page; the Clear button removes it.
