How to use the Character Counter
Applications, social posts and ad copy can define a “character” differently. This tool separates counts with and without spaces, words, lines and UTF-8 bytes so you can match the destination's rule.
How it works
Unicode characters, whitespace and line breaks are counted separately
Most processing stays in your browser instead of sending inputs to our server. Verify important financial or contractual decisions against an authoritative source.
Step-by-step
- 01Type or paste the draft.
- 02Check whether the destination limits characters, words or bytes and whether spaces count.
- 03Set an optional goal and edit the remaining or excess length.
Worked example
INPUTUSEOYO 우서요
RESULT10 characters including the space; a larger UTF-8 byte count
Korean characters usually occupy more UTF-8 bytes than one Latin letter.Limits and checks
- Emoji and combined Unicode characters may be counted differently by another system.
- When the final submission form has its own counter, treat that as authoritative.
Useful examples
- Meet an application word target
- Check a social post length
- Measure UTF-8 storage bytes
Frequently asked questions
How many bytes is one character?
It depends on the character in UTF-8. Basic Latin characters usually use one byte, while many other characters use more.
Is my text uploaded or saved?
No. Counting happens entirely inside your current browser.
