What a character counter measures
A character counter counts the total number of characters in your text so you can stay within platform or formatting limits. It includes letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols, emojis, and line breaks, and it can count both with spaces and without spaces, depending on what you need. When counting without spaces, it excludes spaces between words, but it still counts all other characters you typed, such as commas, full stops, and special symbols.
