Character count, letter count and text length

Looking for a character counter for an online form, social caption or message? This tool measures visible characters, Unicode code points, UTF-16 units and UTF-8 bytes. The measurements can differ for emoji and accented text.

Do spaces and emoji affect the character count?

Yes. Characters such as spaces contribute to text length, while an emoji may contain several underlying code points. Choose the count appropriate for the platform or technical limit you are checking.
