Tips & Counting Rules

• Characters: counted as they are displayed, so an emoji (even 👨‍👩‍👧) or an accented letter counts as one character. Some platforms (e.g. X/Twitter) use their own weighting and may give a different total.
• Words: groups of letters or digits separated by spaces; a hyphenated or apostrophe word ("well-known", "don't") counts as one word, a lone dash or emoji does not count. Chinese, Japanese and Thai text is split into words automatically.
• Sentences: end with . ! ? … (or 。！？); decimal numbers and web addresses do not split a sentence, but abbreviations like "e.g." may.
