Frequently asked questions
Why do with/without spaces counts differ so much?
Spaces typically make up 15–20% of normal text. Some platforms count them, some do not — check which number your limit uses.
What is the byte count for?
UTF-8 bytes matter for databases, SMS segments and some APIs, where accented characters and emoji count as several bytes each.
Does it count line breaks?
Line breaks count as characters in the total, and the line count is shown separately.
