Twitter uses UTF-8 encoded messages.
UTF-8 code points can be up to
sixfour octets long, making the maximum message size 140 x 4 = 560 8-bit bytes.This is, of course, just for the raw messages, excluding storage overhead, indexing and other storage-related padding.
e: Twitter successfully let me post the message:
Yes, that’s 140 trademark symbols, which are three octets each in UTF-8
