What This Tool Does

Frequently Asked Questions

Do newline characters count?

Yes. Line breaks count as characters in the total; use line count for structure metrics.

How is "without spaces" calculated?

Every space character is excluded from the secondary total; tabs and other whitespace may still count.

Does emoji count as one character?

Most emoji count as one or two Unicode code units depending on the symbol; the tool reports raw string length.

Can I count only a selection?

Paste the selection alone into the input for an isolated count.
