Do profile character limits limit both text & HTML element characters?

General

Profiles allow users to use HTML elements or to simply type characters. Profiles also cap the character limit at 10,000 characters. Does this character limit include characters used with HTML elements or is does the character limit apply to the number of output characters only?

For instance, I could insert a simple URL like www.google.com (14 characters ) OR I could use HTML to embed that link as Google (37 characters) and this HTML element outputs “Google” (5 characters). If I go the HTML route, would the character counter count 37 or 5 characters?

Not 100% certain but I’m pretty sure it’s 10k characters in the text entry field.

You should also be able to use markup instead of HTML if you like, which adds far fewer characters per link than HTML.

It includes the HTML characters. I had to reformat some of mine to markup because the new limit messed up my profile.
