How the counts work
Words follow Unicode word boundaries and exclude punctuation; your browser splits Thai, Chinese and Japanese text with its built-in dictionary. Characters include spaces and line breaks. Counts can differ from other apps, especially for emoji and mixed languages.
Reading time uses 200 words per minute. Technical text, unfamiliar language and reading aloud can take longer.
