st_numberOfCharactersInATweet counting Emoji's as 2 characters while Twitter accepts as 1

[goodmorningbob]

Hi,

When including Emoji's in the tweet text the st_numberOfCharactersInATweet method is counting these as 2 characters while Twitter accepts them as 1 character.

As a temporary fix i have modified -

• (NSInteger)st_numberOfCharactersInATweetWithShortURLLength:(NSUInteger)shortURLLength shortURLLengthHTTPS:(NSUInteger)shortURLLengthHTTPS

as follows -

// NSInteger count = [s length]; __block NSInteger count = 0; [s enumerateSubstringsInRange:NSMakeRange(0, s.length) options:NSStringEnumerationByComposedCharacterSequences usingBlock:^(NSString subString, NSRange subStringRange, NSRange enclosingRange, BOOL stop) { count++; }];

This seems to give a correct count for Twitter but would be interested to get your take on this as I am not overly familiar with the Twitter API.

Thanks.
