Count characters and words

Measure characters, words, lines, and UTF-8 bytes in real time.

Based on UTF-8 bytes and Unicode codepoints, not institution-specific encodings.

All files are processed strictly inside your browser memory and are never uploaded to any server.

How to use

  1. Paste or type your text directly into the input area.
  2. Review immediate counts for characters, words, lines, and UTF-8 bytes.
  3. Copy the sanitized plain text if needed.

Limits & Specifications

Supports up to 100,000 Unicode codepoints. Byte counts are strictly calculated using standard UTF-8 encoding; does not reflect institution-specific legacy encodings (such as EUC-KR job board limits).

Illustrative Example

Example (Illustrative): Checking an essay draft to ensure it meets a 3,000-character requirement without spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do byte counts differ from legacy Korean employment portals?

Legacy systems often calculate Korean characters as 2 bytes under EUC-KR, whereas this tool strictly follows the modern UTF-8 standard (3 bytes per Hangul syllable).

Is text sent to an external server or AI model?

No. All processing happens entirely within client-side memory using safe DOM operations.
