How X counts characters
URLs count as 23 characters, most emoji count as 2, and newlines count as 1. The counter mirrors those practical rules for everyday posts.
280 vs 25,000
The standard X post limit is 280 characters. Premium long posts can reach 25,000 characters, but the first line still has to earn the click.
