A comment on the problem "Hebrew letters "weigh" twice as much as English ones" in Twitter:

Thanks .. I was referring to the website updates though (I don't use Twitter SMS). While the SMS problem is on the phone's side, this one's on Twitter's side. – ailaG, on June 16, 2008 20:55

Hebrew letters "weigh" twice as much as English ones
Hebrew letters apparently count twice (each letter counts as two). Probably due to the way UTF-8 encoding works.

After submission I often get a message saying my update was too long. The counter is correct though. A 71-letter tweet returned an error msg.

Testers: some Hebrew to play around with: ם ס ו
(that's in case you want to try testing the problem but can't type in Hebrew; letters should come out as a square, a circle and a line if you use the right encoding)
