amount of characters allowed in profile

[Ashlyn Gedales]

Is there a limit? I see some have long profiles and was wondering.

Yes there are limits.  It isn't by character it's by bytes.  So those special ASCII characters people like to use may take more bytes than standard letters.

From the SL Wiki page on Limits:

Each 7-bit ASCII character is encoded in one byte. International characters might need more bytes. When pasting text instead of typing, you can get in one byte more into each of the below.

• 2nd Life tab's About field - 510 bytes
• Picks tab - 10 picks with 1022 bytes each
• 1st Life tab's Info field - 253 bytes
• Classified tab - 100 listings with x bytes each
• My Notes - 1022 bytes
