Counting rules

Characters are counted per Unicode code point, so emoji count as one character. Words are separated by whitespace, which is the standard rule for English and most Western languages. The byte count uses UTF-8 — useful when a database field or API limit is defined in bytes, where accented characters take 2 bytes and most emoji take 4.

FAQ

Does an emoji count as one character?
Yes, in most cases. Complex combined emoji (like family emoji) may count as more than one, because they are technically several code points joined together.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
