If you go beyond 160 characters (which is standard)...it will start anew.

Writing in a different language instead english is usually double coding, which means 1 letter = 2 characters!

OO! OO! I know this! I know this!

There are a few odd characters when you use multi-tap and European characters that count as 2 or more letters.

The RETURN key is 2 characters

As is the TAB (this shows up in the list as a fallen "L" I think

any accented characters, like ü or é count as 2.

The German double s is 3 or 4 letters I think.

As is the 'paragraph' key.

In the Philippines, we're fond of using the ü in place of a smiley since it saves on characters, or so we thought ... I only noticed it when started including a character counter.
