❓ Frequently asked questions

How are Telugu letters counted?

A letter with its vowel sign or conjunct is counted as one character, the way you see it on the screen. For X, each Telugu code point counts as one, as X does.

Why does Telugu SMS allow only 70 letters?

Telugu cannot be sent in the plain SMS alphabet, so it is sent in Unicode, which gives 70 letters in one part and 67 in each part of a long message. Your phone company counts the parts.

Are the limits always correct?

They are the usual limits at the time of writing. Platforms change them, so check before an important post.
