LinkedIn character limit

A LinkedIn post can have up to 3,000 characters. LinkedIn shows the first few lines and hides the rest behind “…more”.

How this counter counts

Each Unicode character counts as 1. Some emoji are built from several characters, such as a skin tone or a family, and count as more.
