How to use

  1. Type or paste text into the box.
  2. Read characters with and without whitespace, words and UTF-8 bytes.
  3. Compare with the counting rules of your destination.

How it works

Characters are counted as grapheme clusters. Whitespace removal includes spaces, tabs and newlines. Word counts use your browser’s language-aware segmentation.

Common questions

How are emoji counted?

An emoji sequence displayed as one grapheme, such as a family emoji, counts as one character.

Why does another site give a different result?

It may count UTF-16 code units or bytes instead of visible characters. Check the destination’s rules.

Is my text stored?

No text is sent to a server or saved. Input is limited to 100,000 UTF-16 code units for browser performance.
