Character count is based on JavaScript string length. "Characters (no spaces)" removes all whitespace. Word count is optimized for Latin words; CJK characters are counted separately. UTF-8 bytes are helpful when APIs or databases have byte limits.
Q: Does this upload my text? A: No. Everything stays in your browser. Q: Why do word counts differ from other tools? A: Word splitting rules vary by language and punctuation. Use the character/byte stats if you need strict limits.
