Twitter has a limit of 140 "codepoints". Not bytes. Not glyphs.

  That's weird, I thought its limit was deliberately low enough to fit into an SMS message, which has a limit of 140 octets (160 characters in some 7-bit encoding GSM uses). Do they actually allow, say, 140 kanji?

      That post basically just says go look at this wiki page: https://twitterapi.pbworks.com/Counting-Characters https://twitterapi.pbworks.com/Counting-Characters Why not link to that in the first place?
