How to Use the Character Counter
- Paste or type your text in the input area.
- Review the stats — character counts update in real time as you type.
- Copy the statistics to your clipboard for use elsewhere.
- Clear to reset and start fresh.
What Each Stat Means
- Characters (no spaces) – All Unicode characters excluding whitespace.
- Characters (with spaces) – All Unicode characters including spaces, tabs, and line breaks.
- Words – Sequences of characters separated by whitespace.
- Lines – Number of line breaks plus one.
- Bytes (UTF-8) – Approximate byte size when encoded as UTF-8. ASCII characters use 1 byte; accented or non-Latin characters may use 2–4 bytes.
FAQ
- Does this handle emoji and non-Latin scripts? Yes. The counter uses Unicode-aware counting, so emoji, CJK characters, and accented letters are counted correctly.
- Is my text uploaded? No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
- Why is the byte count approximate? The byte estimate uses the string length. For a precise UTF-8 byte count, encode the text and measure the resulting buffer.
