Frequently asked questions
Why do emoji count as more than one character?
Many emoji are built from several Unicode code points. DO101 shows both the visible character count (what a human sees) and the raw code-unit count that most APIs enforce.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Google typically renders around 155–160 characters on desktop. DO101 warns you as you approach that range.
