How LinkedIn counts characters
- LinkedIn does not publish how it counts emoji, so this counter uses the rule PostQuest checks before publishing: every Unicode character counts as 1.
- Spaces, line breaks, links, @mentions, and #hashtags count character by character.
- Most emoji count as 1, but combined emoji count each part, so 👨👩👧 counts as 5.

LinkedIn character counter FAQ
What is the LinkedIn character limit?
LinkedIn captions can be up to 3,000 characters long. Applies to the post commentary on shares and articles alike.
Do spaces and line breaks count on LinkedIn?
Yes. Every space and line break counts as one character toward the LinkedIn limit.
How do emoji count on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn does not publish its rule. PostQuest counts each Unicode character as 1, so most emoji count as 1 and combined emoji, such as a family, count each part.
Does PostQuest check the LinkedIn limit before publishing?
Yes. PostQuest checks every caption against the LinkedIn limit before a post can be scheduled, so it never fails at publish time for being too long.
