| Mar 28, 2022 at 1:52 | comment | added | Travis Britz | "it seems that you are fine until 143 characters" is only true as long as filenames are entirely made up of the original latin ascii character set, which uses 1 byte for 1 character in UTF-8. UTF-8 uses between 1-4 bytes per character (with the CJK characters using four bytes per character). The problem is also that "character" is an overloaded term, meaning different things to different people. Some graphemes (symbols/glyphs) may consist of multiple combining codepoints (each of which is 1-4 bytes). Therefore the only unit able to correctly describe the limits of the filesystem is bytes. | |
