❓ Frequently Asked Questions​

Q1. What's the difference between characters with and without spaces?​

Characters with spaces include all characters (spaces, tabs, line breaks). Characters without spaces count only the actual text characters.

Q2. Are character counts different for different languages?​

Yes, in UTF-8 encoding, one Chinese/Korean character is typically 3 bytes, while one English character is 1 byte. However, the character count remains the same.

Q3. How are words counted?​

Words are counted as text segments separated by spaces (space, tab, line break). Highly accurate for English, based on spacing for other languages.

Q4. How are sentences counted?​

Sentences are identified by ending punctuation: periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?).

Q5. Why is byte count important?​

Some systems or databases restrict content by bytes rather than characters. This is especially significant for languages like Chinese or Korean, where one character can be 3 bytes.

Q6. Is my input text saved?​

No! Text is processed only in the browser and never sent to a server. Your personal information is completely protected.

Q7. Is it mobile-friendly?​

Yes! All features are fully optimized for mobile devices.
