FAQ

How are emoji and combined characters counted?

Each visible character counts as one, even when it is made of several code points, such as emoji with skin tones or flags.

Why are there two byte counts?

UTF-8 is used by most websites and databases, where Korean, Chinese and Japanese characters take 3 bytes. Some older systems such as SMS and EUC-KR forms count every non-ASCII character as 2 bytes.
