Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Forgetting URLs count as 23 characters

Solution: Twitter shortens all URLs to t.co links (23 chars). A 100-char URL still counts as only 23 characters.

⚠️

Not accounting for mentions

Solution: @username mentions count toward your limit. Long usernames eat into available space for your message.

⚠️

Emoji character counting

Solution: Most emojis count as 2 characters on Twitter. Some complex emojis (like flags) count as more. Test first!
