256 characters or fewer


The solution for me would be "Text entry is limited to 256 characters".

The style guide I'm using doesn't have a recommendation. I'm writing for an
international audience.


I'd like to be a fly on the wall when the text entry box won't take more than 128 characters because the international user is keyboarding a double-byte character set.

Congratulations, Ned! Once again a tech writer discovers a possible
bug in a specification. Will anybody at the original questioner's
employer listen, or has the concrete all hardened into place?
