Knowledge

Text Counting Basics

Character count

Character totals include letters, numbers, spaces, and line breaks depending on the counter definition.

Word boundaries

Word counts typically use whitespace to split text, which means multiple spaces are treated as one separator.

Line breaks

A new line is created when a line break character is encountered, such as \n or \r\n.

FAQ

Text Counter FAQ

Does the character count include spaces?

You get both totals: with spaces (spaces and line breaks) and without spaces.

How are words counted?

Words are separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, and line breaks).

How are lines counted?

Each line break starts a new line; empty input returns 0 lines.

Do emojis count as one character?

Yes. Emoji and other multi-byte characters are counted as a single character.

No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
