LiveWhat Gets Counted
How it worksPlatforms count differently — that is where posts get cut off.
Spaces count too
Almost every platform counts spaces and line breaks as characters. Only style guides ignore them.
Hello world = 11 chars, 10 without spaces
Korean eats bytes
In UTF-8 a Korean syllable is three bytes and an emoji is four. Byte limits bite far earlier than character limits.
한글 = 2 chars, 6 bytes
Line breaks are characters
Every empty line you add for readability spends characters. On short limits that is the first thing to trim.
3 line breaks = 3 chars
Links may not shrink
Some platforms shorten links to a fixed length, others count every character. Assume the full length unless you know otherwise.
https://… = counted in full
Questions
03Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The text never leaves this page — counting happens in your browser and nothing is stored.
Why is the byte count higher than the character count?
UTF-8 uses one byte for English letters, three for Korean syllables and four for most emoji.
Are the platform limits current?
They are checked against each platform’s published limits and updated when those change. Treat them as a guide, not a contract.
