[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":-1},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-seo:characterCounter":3},{"description":4,"seo":5,"faq":8},"Giggleus Character Counter shows the length of any text the moment you type or paste it: characters with spaces, characters without spaces, bytes in UTF-8, a double-byte count, words, sentences and lines. It is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser, so the text never leaves your device.\n\nCharacters are counted the way you see them. An emoji such as 👍 or a flag, an accented letter typed as e + accent, or a Korean syllable built from separate jamo all count as one character. \"Without spaces\" removes every space, tab and line break. Words are counted between spaces; Japanese and Chinese, which are written without spaces, are split with a dictionary, so treat that number as an estimate.\n\nTwo byte counts cover the usual form limits. UTF-8 is what most websites and databases use: 1 byte for ASCII letters and digits, 2 for accented letters, 3 for Korean, Japanese and Chinese, 4 for most emoji. The double-byte count follows legacy East Asian encodings (1 byte for ASCII, 2 for everything else). Set a target length, choose with or without spaces, and a progress bar shows how many characters are left and turns red once you go over. Your draft is saved automatically in this browser.",{"ogTitle":6,"ogDescription":7},"Character Counter: Count Characters, Words & Bytes Online - Giggleus","Paste your text to count characters with and without spaces, words, sentences, lines and bytes as you type.

The counter counts characters as they appear on screen, so 👍, a flag, an accented letter or a family emoji built from several code points each count as 1. Some sites count emoji as 2 or more internally, so leave a little margin if a form is strict.",{"question":13,"answer":14},"Does \"without spaces\" also ignore line breaks?","Yes. The without-spaces count removes every kind of whitespace: regular spaces, tabs, full-width spaces and line breaks.",{"question":16,"answer":17},"How are bytes calculated?","UTF-8 uses 1 byte for ASCII letters and digits, 2 for accented letters, 3 for Korean, Japanese and Chinese characters and 4 for most emoji. The double-byte count, used by older East Asian systems, gives ASCII 1 byte and every other character 2.",{"question":19,"answer":20},"Is my text stored or uploaded?","It is never uploaded. Counting happens in your browser, and the draft is kept only in that browser’s local storage until you clear it."]
