Live character counter for Twitter / X. Implements weighted character counting (URLs count as 23, CJK characters count as 2) and auto-splits long posts into a thread.
Use the tweet length checker when drafting Twitter / X posts, especially threads. The Twitter-weighted counter is the only reliable way to verify length, since the platform applies different rules to URLs, CJK characters, and emoji than a naive char count.
Most online tweet counters use raw character count and miscalculate URLs and CJK. This one mirrors the official Twitter rule so the number matches what the platform will show.
Twitter weights characters: ASCII = 1, most CJK / Arabic / Hebrew code points = 2, URLs = 23 regardless of true length.
The counter mirrors Twitter's rules, so the number matches what the platform will accept.
If your text exceeds the limit, the auto-splitter breaks at sentence boundaries and optionally appends thread indicators "(1/3)" etc.

Input
"Just shipped a major update — check it out at https://example.com/v2 ✨ details inside!"
Output
67 weighted chars / 280 (213 remaining) — fits in one tweet.
