I’m developing a system to integrate with an SMS API, and I was wondering whether or not newlines count towards the character limit, I can’t find any documentation on this.
Thanks

Yes, it does. ANY character you embed in the message counts against the limit, whether it’s “visible” or not. Even if it’s not a printable character, you’ve still sent that character across the cell network and caused the cell network to use up (as they claim) vast amounts of bandwidth that much be charged ludicrous rates to handle.
