@simevidas While I find Safari’s behaviour more relatable for end users (how is one supposed to know that an emoji is not single character?) the spec says that maxlength is to measured in 16-bit “code units” (sigh): https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fe-maxlength Even if you tried to measure in Unicode “Codepoints” that wouldn’t be intuitive for anyone who’s not a Unicode expert. AFAIK, the birdsite counts every emoji as a fixed number of characters (2?), independent of its technical representation.
