Generally speaking, one Chinese, including most Far East Asian languages,

If the length of text is limited up to 256 bytes somewhere, in the worst case,
the limitation
for the number of Chinese characters might become 28, not 256. (256 / 9 = 28.4).
The limitation is on Windows pathnames, not on URLs (that are mapped to
pathnames, by replacing sequences of escape-encoded bytes with sequences
of pathname characters), so the ratio of "human readable" characters to
pathname characters is usually much smaller than 9, typically 1--3
(depending on the character encoding used by Windows).
