๐ How X Character Counting Works
๐
URLs = 23 Characters
Every URL, regardless of actual length, counts as exactly 23 characters in X's system.
๐
Emojis = 2 Characters
Most emojis count as 2 characters instead of 1. X treats them as extended characters.
โ๏ธ
No Truncation
If you exceed 280 characters, X won't post. Use thread indicators to continue.
Tips for Perfect Tweets
๐ Include Thread Numbers
When posting a thread, add "/1", "/2", etc. at the end. This doesn't count toward character limit!
๐ฏ Be Concise
Aim for 240-260 characters for optimal engagement. Posts around 100 characters get the most retweets.
๐ Shorten URLs
Even though URLs count as 23 chars, use URL shorteners to save space in your message body.
๐ Use Emojis Wisely
Emojis add visual appeal but count as 2 characters. Use them to emphasize key points.
