About this word and character counter
The live word counter uses Unicode-aware word boundaries, so punctuation is not counted as a word and text from many languages can be segmented correctly. Character totals count grapheme clusters—the characters a reader typically perceives—rather than the underlying UTF-16 code units. The “no spaces” total excludes all whitespace, including tabs and line breaks.
Sentences are counted using the browser’s sentence segmentation. Paragraphs are non-empty blocks separated by blank lines. Reading time is an estimate based on 200 words per minute; it is less than a minute for any non-empty text below that threshold.
