Using Character Counter
Paste or type text to see counts update instantly. Characters are counted as visible Unicode grapheme clusters, so a combined emoji or accented letter counts as one. Whitespace includes spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Word boundaries use English Unicode segmentation, which also recognizes many non-Latin scripts. UTF-8 bytes and UTF-16 code units help software engineers inspect payload sizes and JavaScript string length. Use it as a learning tool to compare how text is represented.
