Frequently asked questions

Does this count spaces and line breaks?

Yes. You get totals with spaces and without, so you can match platform rules that include or exclude whitespace.

Are emojis counted as one character?

Counts use Unicode code points, so most single emojis count as one visible character. Complex emoji sequences may use more.

Is Character Counter private?

Yes. Text never leaves your browser. We do not log or store what you paste.
