Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a character?
Every symbol you type counts as a character, including letters, numbers, punctuation marks, spaces, and special characters. Even pressing the space bar adds a character to the count.
Why count characters without spaces?
Some platforms and systems count characters differently. For example, some word processors and content management systems count characters excluding spaces. This tool provides both counts so you can meet any requirement.
What is the SMS character limit?
A single SMS message can contain 160 characters. If your message exceeds this, it will be split into multiple messages. Some special characters may count as multiple characters in SMS.
