FAQ
What does “characters” mean in this tool?
The tool prefers a grapheme-aware count (user-perceived characters) when Intl.Segmenter is available. It also shows code point and UTF-16 code unit counts for reference.
Is the word count accurate for all languages?
Word count is whitespace-based. It works well for languages that use spaces between words, but it is not a full NLP tokenizer.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser via JavaScript. No data is ever transmitted externally.
