UTF-16 code units: 0. Emoji and some characters take more than one code unit — we count what you see (graphemes).
Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time as you type — instantly, in your browser, with nothing uploaded. Unlike a generic word counter, this tool also checks your text against the character limits that actually matter: an X/Twitter post (280), an Instagram bio (150), a LinkedIn headline (220), a meta description (160) and more, each with a live "characters left" or "over by N" indicator. Counting is exact: characters are counted the way you see them — an emoji is one character, not two, and an accented letter like é is one — using the browser's built-in Unicode grapheme segmentation. We also show the raw UTF-16 code-unit number so you understand why some tools disagree. No account, no ads, no limits; your text never leaves your device.
How it works
- Type or paste your text into the box.

- Check the platform-limit panel to see if your text fits an Instagram bio, a tweet, a LinkedIn headline or a meta description.
- Trim until it fits — everything updates instantly, in your browser.
