SMS messages that exceed 160 standard GSM characters are referred to as long messages.

Therefore, see below the maximum character count for long messages:

2 message parts: 153+153= 306 standard GSM characters3 message parts: 153+153+153= 459 standard GSM characters4 message parts: 153+153+153+153= 612 standard GSM characters
Unicode (non-standard GSM)

Characters that do not conform to the standard GSM character set are called Unicode characters. Unicode offers a collection of supplementary characters, including mathematical symbols, technical symbols, punctuation marks, arrows, and characters that form non-Latin alphabets such as Thai, Chinese, Arabic script, and Emojis.

It's important to note that using Unicode in SMS messaging can impact the length of your message. The maximum character limit for a single message segment decreases from 160 to 70.
