Character Counter

When to use Character Counter

• Checking meta description length
• Measuring snippet size
• Counting lines in pasted logs

Example

Input

Hi 😀

Output

Characters (Unicode code points): 4
UTF-16 code units: 5
Words (whitespace separated): 2
Lines: 1

How to use

1. Paste text. Any plain text or code works.
2. Count. Run to see characters, words, and lines.
3. Adjust copy. Edit the input and recount as needed.

Processing and limitations

Reports Unicode code points and UTF-16 code units separately. An emoji can use multiple code units; combined emoji and combining accents can contain several code points. Words are whitespace-separated, not language-aware tokens.
