How to use Character counter
- Enter your text in the input field.
- The result updates as you type. Adjust the available settings if needed.
- Read the counts above your text. Copy text copies the original text, not the statistics.
What counts as a character?
The main character count measures visible character groups, including emoji sequences and accented letters. Code points and UTF-8 bytes are also shown because different systems measure text differently.
A useful distinction
Spaces and line breaks count as characters. Words use English word segmentation. Reading time is an estimate at 200 words per minute.
What to expect
Count visible characters, words, lines and UTF-8 bytes. Visible characters use Unicode grapheme clusters, so a combined emoji can count as one. Code points and bytes are separate measures. Check which measure your destination requires.
