Tumblr post character counter
Tumblr text fields commonly cap individual text blocks at 4,096 characters, reflecting a post editor built from blocks rather than one unlimited plain-text field. Spaces, line breaks, emoji, links, and formatting text count inside the block. Long posts may need multiple blocks, read-more breaks, tags, or media embeds.
