When to use character counter
A form may limit the length of a title, description or message. This counter shows the number of Unicode code points and the JavaScript UTF-16 length, so you can spot a difference caused by emoji. It also shows the count after whitespace is removed. Check which definition your destination uses before relying on a boundary exactly.
How it works
- Paste your text.
- Read the character totals.
- Adjust the message and compare again.
Try this example
Hello, world! 👋
Before you export or rely on the result
Some combined emoji contain several code points but appear as one symbol. This page does not claim that every platform will report the same count.
