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.
