Multi-part characters count as one
Some characters, including many emoji, are made of more than one Unicode code point. This tool counts them the way they appear on screen, as a single character, rather than counting each code point separately.
FAQ
- Are line breaks and spaces included in the character count?
- The main character count includes line breaks and spaces. The counts that exclude line breaks and exclude spaces are shown separately.
- How are emoji counted?
- Each emoji counts as one character, even when it's made of several joined code points, such as a flag or a family emoji.
