About this tool
The counter shows characters with and without spaces, words and lines, plus progress bars for an X (Twitter) post (280), a meta description (160) and an Instagram bio (150). Over the limit, the bar says how many characters to cut.
SMS is counted the way phones do it: 160 characters for plain English, but only 70 as soon as the message contains Hindi, an emoji or another special character, and longer messages are split into parts. Emoji and Hindi conjuncts count as one character each, as you see them.
Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so it is safe for drafts, code and private documents.
हिंदी में मदद
यह टूल स्पेस सहित और बिना स्पेस अक्षर गिनता है और दिखाता है कि X पोस्ट (280), मेटा डिस्क्रिप्शन (160), SMS और इंस्टाग्राम बायो (150) की सीमा में कितनी जगह बची है। हिंदी वाले SMS में केवल 70 अक्षर आते हैं।
Questions
Do spaces count as characters?
Yes, on X, in SMS and in most forms. The tool shows both numbers so you can use whichever your form asks for.
Why does my Hindi SMS allow only 70 characters?
Plain-text SMS uses a 7-bit alphabet with room for 160 characters. Any character outside it, such as Devanagari or an emoji, switches the whole message to Unicode, which fits 70.
Is the X count exact?
It's a close guide. X counts every link as 23 characters and some scripts as double, so a post with links can differ slightly.
How is an emoji counted?
As one character, the way you see it, even if it's built from several code points (like 👍🏽).
