What is Twitter / X Character Counter?
Twitter/X enforces a 280-character limit on posts. URLs are always counted as 23 characters regardless of length, because Twitter automatically wraps them through t.co. Emoji typically count as 2. This tool simulates that counting so you can fit within the limit.
