About Word Counter

Count characters, words, spaces, line breaks, and punctuation in pasted text, updating as the text changes. It is useful for submission limits, UI copy, and mixed Chinese-English material.

Platforms can define “words” and “characters” differently. For a hard limit, rely on the target platform's own feedback before submitting.

How Word Counter works

Writing rules often use character counts, word counts, or visible text length, and those measurements differ for mixed-language text. Listing them together makes it easier to select the measure that matches the requirement.

Escaped characters in code, rich-text markup, and emoji may not equal the final rendered length.
