Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between characters and bytes?
Characters are individual symbols. Bytes measure data size. ASCII characters are 1 byte each, but emoji and international characters can be 2-4 bytes.
Does it count newlines as characters?
Yes, newlines are counted as characters. They may count as 1 or 2 characters depending on the line ending style (LF vs CRLF).
How do emoji affect the count?
Each emoji counts as one or more characters. Some complex emoji (like family emoji) are actually multiple characters combined.
Is there a character limit?
No limit. The tool handles millions of characters, though very long texts may be slower to process.
