What the word counter actually counts
Characters count Unicode code points, so a joined emoji can count more than once. Han characters are reported separately; an all-Han run does not add to Words. Internal apostrophes and hyphens stay within one word. Read the exact examples before comparing this total with another platform.

Use this free word counter for essays, social posts, ad copy, articles, emails, and any writing with a length requirement. The live dashboard separates total characters from characters without spaces and also counts lines and paragraphs.
Estimated reading time helps you gauge long-form content quickly. Multilingual text is supported, with a separate count for Chinese characters, and no account or upload is required.
