If a Tweet is half English, half CJK, is our limit 210 characters?

Or is language determined on a per-Tweet basis, using character content and more complex heuristics?

Will we need to pad (CJK-heavy) Base65536 with nonsense English, to convince Twitter the whole Tweet's English and give us the higher limit?

So to sum up: although Tweets may now be 280 characters, it may NOT be possible to transmit a full 560 Base65536-encoded bytes this way.

In any case, as for me, the limit still appears to be 140 characters. To be continued.
