Upside Down Font Generator

Apps count text in different ways, and most do not say which. FontBlaze shows three counts for each style's actual output:

Characters you see

Each visible character counts once, including an emoji with a skin tone, a flag or a letter with an accent (grapheme clusters).

Code points

The Unicode characters underneath. An accented letter typed as a letter plus a mark is 2; a flag is 2; a keycap is 3.

UTF-16 units

The unit JavaScript uses for text length, and some apps use for limits. Styled letters from the math blocks take 2 each, so a styled name can reach a limit sooner.

• Fits: within the limit by all three counts.
• Depends on count: within the limit as characters you see, but over it as UTF-16 units. Code points may be within the limit or over it; the card and the Inspect panel say which counts fit.
• Too long: over the limit even as characters you see.

None of these means the app will accept the text: some fields reject styled letters whatever their length.

The Instagram and Discord limits come from their help pages, listed on the sources page. Neither page says how styled letters, emoji or accents are counted, so check all three counts.

X post uses X's own published count instead: most letters, numbers and punctuation count as 1, while most styled letters, emoji and CJK characters count as 2, and each link counts as 23. A styled post can therefore hold about half as many characters.
