+# Instructions
+
+You have identified a gap in the social media market for very very short posts.
+Now that Twitter allows 280 character posts, people wanting quick social media updates aren't being served.
+You decide to create your own social media network.
+
+To make your product noteworthy, you make it extreme and only allow posts of 5 or less characters.
+Any posts of more than 5 characters should be truncated to 5.
+
+To allow your users to express themselves fully, you allow Emoji and other Unicode.
+
+The task is to truncate input strings to 5 characters.
+
+## Text Encodings
+
+Text stored digitally has to be converted to a series of bytes.
+There are 3 ways to map characters to bytes in common use.
+
+- **ASCII** can encode English language characters.
+  All characters are precisely 1 byte long.
+- **UTF-8** is a Unicode text encoding.
+  Characters take between 1 and 4 bytes.
+- **UTF-16** is a Unicode text encoding.
+  Characters are either 2 or 4 bytes long.
+
+UTF-8 and UTF-16 are both Unicode encodings which means they're capable of representing a massive range of characters including:
+
+- Text in most of the world's languages and scripts
+- Historic text
+- Emoji
+
+UTF-8 and UTF-16 are both variable length encodings, which means that different characters take up different amounts of space.
+
+Consider the letter 'a' and the emoji '😛'.
+In UTF-16 the letter takes 2 bytes but the emoji takes 4 bytes.
+
+The trick to this exercise is to use APIs designed around Unicode characters (codepoints) instead of Unicode codeunits.
