FAQ
How many characters is a tweet?
280 characters maximum. URLs always count as 23 characters (Twitter wraps them in t.co links). Usernames in replies (@user) count toward the limit.
Do emoji count as 1 or 2 characters?
Most emoji count as 2 characters on Twitter/X because they use Unicode surrogate pairs. A single emoji like a heart takes 2 of your 280 character budget.
