Question 1

Does the character count include spaces?

Accepted Answer

We show both — characters with spaces and characters without spaces — so you can use whichever a form or platform asks for.

Question 2

How do the X (Twitter), SMS and meta-description limits work?

Accepted Answer

As you type we show how many characters remain for each: 280 for an X/Twitter post, 160 for a single SMS message, and ~160 for a search-result meta description. Go over and the bar turns red and shows how many characters you're over.

Question 3

Are emoji counted correctly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We count what you actually see — an emoji counts as one character even when it's technically made of several code points behind the scenes.

Question 4

Is my text private?

Accepted Answer

Completely. Counting happens entirely in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
