Questions

How is Telegram text counted?

Telegram text is counted in UTF-16 units. The character counter applies the same rule.

Where do these Telegram limits come from?

They are the limits 1Post checks before a post is sent. Figures the network publishes on its own page are cited above with the date read; the rest are checks 1Post sets.

How often is this page updated?

When a network changes a rule or we read a newer figure, the page changes with it. The date at the top shows the last change.
