FAQ

Does the character count include spaces?

Use the separate with-spaces and without-spaces values. Submission systems may count line breaks, emoji, and combined characters differently.

Why is the count different from another platform?

Platforms can treat whitespace, punctuation, emoji, and Unicode combinations differently. For important limits, verify the final text in the destination form.
