  • X (Twitter), post: 210 / 280
  • Instagram, caption: 209 / 2,200
  • TikTok, caption (API): 212 / 2,200
  • LinkedIn, post: 209 / 3,000
  • SMS text message: 4 SMS · 212 / 268 (UCS-2)
  • Meta description: 209 / 160 · 49 too many

X uses weighted counting (emojis and many non-Latin characters count double, links always 23). SMS: a single character outside the GSM alphabet (e.g. an emoji or curly quotes) switches the whole message to Unicode with only 70 characters per SMS. Meta descriptions have no fixed limit – 160 is a guideline.
