Frequently Asked Questions
Are spaces included in the character count?
Yes, both including and excluding spaces are displayed together, so you don't need to choose.
Is my text sent to a server?
No, all processing happens inside your browser and is never transmitted to a server.
Are line breaks counted as characters?
Yes. Line breaks are treated as whitespace characters — they are included in the character count with spaces and excluded from the count without spaces.
Can Japanese or Chinese text be counted?
Character count works for all languages, but for Japanese and Chinese — which do not use spaces between words — the word count may differ from the actual grammatical word count.
