Quick answer

Paste text to see counts immediately. Characters count Unicode code points, while words count ASCII letter/digit/underscore runs and individual characters in U+3400–U+9FFF. This is not language-aware word segmentation.

How to use

  1. 1. Paste your textReplace the sample with the text you want to measure; counts update as you type.
  2. 2. Choose the relevant countUse characters for code-point length or lines for a list. Check the word-count rule before comparing with a writing app.
  3. 3. Copy the reportCopy the output to keep all seven counts alongside the text revision.

Examples

Mixed text

Input
Hi 你好! 😀
Output
Characters: 8
Characters without whitespace: 6
Whitespace: 2
Punctuation: 1
Words: 3
Lines: 1
Paragraphs: 1

A combining mark is a separate code point

Input
é
Output
Characters: 2
Characters without whitespace: 2
Whitespace: 0
Punctuation: 0
Words: 1
Lines: 1
Paragraphs: 1

Common use cases

  • Compare draft lengths using the same counting rule.
  • Check the line count of a pasted list.

Edge cases

  • Spaces, tabs and line breaks all count as whitespace. A CRLF pair contains two whitespace characters but one line break.
  • Emoji sequences and accented letters made with combining marks can contain multiple code points. Arabic, kana and Hangul are not counted as words; accented Latin words can split into ASCII runs.
  • A final line break adds an empty line. Paragraphs are separated by consecutive line breaks; a line containing spaces does not act as an empty separator.

Features

  • Characters, Characters without whitespace
  • Whitespace, Punctuation
  • Words, Lines, Paragraphs
  • No. Counting runs entirely in your browser.
