Word boundaries follow browser language segmentation. Character counts use visible character clusters when the browser supports them.
Common questions
What counts as a character?
The character counter uses visible character clusters where the browser supports them, so a combined emoji can count as one character. Spaces and line breaks count in Characters, but whitespace is excluded from Without spaces.
Why can word counts differ from another app?
Apps can use different rules for punctuation, hyphens and languages without spaces. This counter uses the browser's English word segmenter where available. Check the target platform's own counter when an exact limit matters.
