Examples
Hello 👋is 7 characters: the emoji counts once.- A meta description should stay near

Characters are counted as visible symbols, so accented letters and emoji count once. Some platforms count differently: X gives links a fixed length, and SMS drops to 70 characters per message if the text contains non-Latin characters or emoji.
