Counts Unicode code points. Platform-specific URL weighting, grapheme handling and premium limits can differ. Confirm the final count in the destination editor.

How to put it into practice
Read the counting definition
The counter reports Unicode code points, words and hashtag matches. A joined emoji can contain several code points, while a destination platform may use weighted URLs or a different rule.
Confirm in the publishing editor
Use the platform reference as a preparation estimate and inspect remaining characters. Confirm the final draft in the connected editor because account entitlements and endpoints can change the accepted limit.
What to check in this workspace
Emoji sequences, combined marks and weighted links can be counted differently by destination platforms. Use this as a preparation check and confirm the final limit in the actual publishing editor; it does not override platform validation.
Check Unicode captions before publishing
Include the opening, body, links and hashtags you plan to publish. The visible counter updates locally as you edit, so test the actual copy rather than a shortened sample. Use the platform reference as a preparation estimate and inspect remaining characters. Confirm the final draft in the connected editor because account entitlements and endpoints can change the accepted limit.
