Frequently Asked Questions

How do I count characters in text?
Simply paste or type your text into the editor above. The character counter updates instantly, showing total characters, characters without spaces, letters, numbers, and more.
What's the difference between characters and letters?
Characters include everything: letters, numbers, symbols, punctuation, and spaces. Letters count only alphabetic characters (a-z, A-Z). Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace.
Do emojis count as one character?
Most emojis count as 2 characters due to Unicode encoding. Some complex emojis (like family emojis or flag emojis) can count as 4-7 characters depending on the platform.
Is my text private?
Yes! All counting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device or gets sent to any server.
