Then it's Unicode code points, which are still am abstract concept to users. The only thing that's meaningful to users is graphemes — and with Unicode one grapheme can be formed of a potentially infinite number of code points (continuation characters stack, and can be repeated indefinitely), so you cannot practically use that for any limit.

"characters" is an unfortunately common shortcut for "code points" as that's what unicode-based "char" types tend to mean. And my comment was an explanation of an other user's, nothing more.
