 This has implications on the length of strings, because a single visible character like the `🎆` fireworks symbol, when in a JS string, is a counted as 2 characters for the purposes of the string length!

 As you can see, these are two distinct code-points (not a surrogate pair) that, by virtue of their ordering and adjacency, cause the computer's Unicode rendering to draw the thumbs-down symbol but with a darker skin tone than its default. The computed string length is thus `2`.

-| As a Twitter user, you might expect to be able to put 280 thumbs-down emoji into a single tweet, since it looks like a single character. But Twitter counts each such emoji as two characters, so you only get 140. Surprisingly, twitter counts the `"👎"` (default thumbs-down), `"👎🏾"` (dark-skin tone thumbs-down), and even the `"👩‍👩‍👦‍👦"` (family emoji grapheme cluster) all as two characters each, even though their string lengths (from JS's perspective) are `2`, `4`, and `7`, respectively. Twitter must have some sort of custom Unicode handling implemented in the tools. |

 It would take replicating most of a platform's complex Unicode rendering logic to be able to recognize such clusters of code-points as a single "character" for length-counting sake. There are libraries that purport to do so, but they're not necessarily perfect, and they come at a hefty cost in terms of extra code.
 
-Counting the "length" of a string to match our human intuitions is a remarkably challenging task. We can get acceptable approximations in many cases, but there's plenty of other cases that confound our programs.

In fact, Twitter implemented this change in 2018 to specifically level the counting of all Unicode characters, at 2 characters per symbol. [^TwitterUnicode] That was a welcomed change for Twitter users, especially those who want to use emoji characters that are most representative of intended gender, skintone, etc. Still, it *is* curious that the choice was made to count the symbols as 2 characters each, instead of the more intuitive 1 character each. |
