Word and Unicode Character Counter
Paste text to count whitespace-separated words, Unicode code points, UTF-16 units, non-whitespace characters, lines, and UTF-8 bytes. Line endings are normalized for line counting only.
How to use Word and Unicode Character Counter
- Enter or paste “Text to count”. Follow the separators and formatting described in the tool introduction.
- Select Calculate or Process. Review the result and any validation message before copying or downloading available output. Reset clears the result and restores the starting inputs.
Method & assumptions
Words are nonempty whitespace-delimited tokens; characters are Unicode code points; bytes use UTF-8. Empty text has zero lines.
Worked example
Hello world has 2 words, 11 Unicode code points, and 11 UTF-8 bytes.

Questions, answered
Why can emoji have different counts?
A visible symbol can contain multiple code points or UTF-16 units. This tool reports those explicitly and does not claim to count visual grapheme clusters.
Does this send my input to a server?
No. This engine processes input locally without network requests. The surrounding website may have its own analytics or scripts; avoid entering sensitive material on an untrusted site. Text fields accept at most 1,000,000 UTF-16 units unless a smaller field limit is stated.
