How to use it

Inspect text for editor limits, data interchange, multilingual word counts, or byte-aware storage without calling every unit a character.

1. Type or paste Unicode text.
2. Read the live metrics and their definitions.
3. Copy or download the complete summary when you need a record.

Worked example

Input

é😀

Output

4 UTF-16 units · 3 code points · 2 grapheme clusters · 7 UTF-8 bytes

The combining accent joins the letter into one grapheme; the emoji uses a surrogate pair in UTF-16.

Method and definitions

• Intl.Segmenter supplies locale-aware word and extended-grapheme boundaries.
• TextEncoder supplies the UTF-8 byte count.
• CRLF is one line break; CR and LF are breaks; empty input has zero lines.

Limits and edge cases

• Word boundaries are locale-tailored approximations and may differ from a publisher or social platform.
• Reading time and platform-specific limits are intentionally not estimated.
• The input limit is 2 MiB of UTF-8 text.

Privacy

Counting happens entirely in memory in this tab, with no upload and no automatic draft storage.
