Character Counter

Count characters the way a person perceives them — using Unicode grapheme clusters, so an emoji or accented character counts as one, not several — alongside words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and the UTF-8 byte size.

Updates as you type — nothing is sent anywhere

FAQ

Why doesn't the character count match my text editor's count?
Many editors count raw UTF-16 code units, which overcounts emoji and some accented characters — a family emoji can be 7 or more code units but is one character a person actually sees. This tool counts Unicode grapheme clusters via the browser's Intl.Segmenter instead, so the number matches what you'd count by eye.
What's the difference between the character count and the byte count?
The character count is how many user-visible characters there are. The UTF-8 byte count is how many bytes that text would take up when encoded — relevant for things like database column limits or API payload size, and it's larger than the character count for any non-ASCII text.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No — every statistic is computed locally as you type. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
