Tips for Reddit

  • because Reddit uses Markdown, you rarely need Unicode tricks — native **bold** and *italic* just work — front-load the important words.
  • Spaces, emojis, and line breaks all count toward the limit on Reddit.
  • Links on Reddit often count their full length, so account for URLs in your total.

Do emojis and spaces count toward the Reddit limit?

Yes. Spaces, line breaks, and emojis all consume characters on Reddit. Some emojis count as two characters because of how they're encoded, and this counter reflects that.
