X doesn't count characters one by one. A link is always 23, however long or short. Latin letters, common punctuation and most European scripts count one; Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters and every emoji count two.
Premium accounts can post up to 25,000 characters, but only the first 280 show in the timeline before “Show more”.
