For the purposes of calculating the length of tweets, are compound emojis treated as a length of one?
For example: 👩 + 🚀 = 👩🚀
So does Twitter treat 👩🚀as "one character?"

It’s two (tip: compose a very long tweet and when the counter appears, append the emoji to see how many “characters” it takes)

Each emoji is counted as two characters.
Also a newline is counted as a character but i don't think it was always that way.

Some common emoji have modifiers, like skin color which are actually more akin to Unicode accent marks

If they counted "yellow" as 1 and a skin tone as 2 is that favoritism? Social Qs.
