Character counting tips
- Characters uses JavaScript string length (UTF-16 code units). Most English text matches what social platforms report.
- Code points count Unicode symbols individually — useful when emoji or special characters use multiple units.
- SMS limits drop to 70 characters when your message includes emoji or non-GSM characters; plain ASCII allows 160.
- SEO targets are guidelines, not hard cutoffs — aim for readable titles around 60 characters and descriptions near 160.
