SMS Text Symbols >
Most SMS services such as those transmitted to a telephone, have a
limit as to how many characters can be transmitted per message. This
number can vary from service to service, however many allow for 140 or
160 characters. This limitation has caused users to develop what has
become known as Txt Speak. These are a set of commonly used
abbreviations and word substitutes that not only reduce the number of
characters necessary for conveying a word or message, but also make
SMSing or Text Messaging an even faster and more convenient process.
