What is a character counter used for?

It helps you check the length of a text before publishing it.

Understand the concept and the difference between this style

Counting characters seems simple, but different systems may count code points, UTF-16 units or visible characters. Compound emojis highlight these differences.

How it works in practice

Counts may take into account characters, spaces or words, depending on the implementation.

How to choose and assess the result

Compare a single word, a word with an accent and a compound emoji. If the destination’s character limit is strict, check the character count within the service itself as well.
