Why character counting is tricky

When Instagram says "150 chars", the obvious JavaScript answer β€” .length β€” is wrong. A single emoji is 2-11 UTF-16 code units; combining characters in CJK scripts are even messier. Instagram counts graphemes (what looks like a single character to the user). This tool does the same.

Platform limits (2026)

Frequently asked questions

Why does this differ from Instagram's own character count?βŒ„

It doesn't β€” both count grapheme clusters. A family emoji πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ is 11 UTF-16 code units but a single character to Instagram. We use the Intl.Segmenter API for exactly that match.

How are non-Latin scripts counted?βŒ„

One grapheme = one character. So "μ•ˆλ…•" is 2, "δ½ ε₯½" is 2, and a Hangul jamo cluster (γ„±+ㅏ β†’ κ°€) is 1. JavaScript .length can miscount these; our counter is accurate.

What happens if I exceed the limit?βŒ„

Most platforms block input at the limit, but some silently truncate. Twitter cuts cleanly at 160. Instagram disables the Save button when you exceed 150. Stop just before the limit to be safe.

Do line breaks count?βŒ„

Yes β€” a newline is 1 character. Aesthetic bios full of emoji + line breaks burn through the limit fast, so plan accordingly.
