FAQ
Do spaces count as characters?
In the “Characters” count, yes. The “No Spaces” count removes all whitespace (spaces, tabs, line breaks) and shows the remaining count.
Do emojis count as one character?
JavaScript measures string length in UTF-16 code units. Most emojis count as 2 characters. For platform-specific limits, test directly on that platform.
