Counts by character (emoji count as one). Some platforms count links as a fixed length and may trim trailing text — treat this as a close guide, not the platform’s exact internal count.
The YouTube limit, in context
If you cross 5,000 characters, YouTube will cut your text off or block the post. Posting the same thing elsewhere? The counter above shows every other platform’s limit at the same time, and the thread splitter will break a long post into parts that fit.
