Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why do Korean characters or emojis show more bytes than characters?
Emojis and non-ASCII characters (like Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and special symbols) use multiple bytes in UTF-8 encoding (typically 3 to 4 bytes per character), while English letters use exactly 1 byte.
Does this tool store my writing history?
No. We do not store any text or metrics. Once you reload or close the tab, the state is completely cleared.
Can I run this tool offline?
Yes. Once loaded, the counter runs fully client-side on your device.
Is word counting accurate for non-English text?
This tool uses whitespace separators for word counts, which is optimized for Western languages. For Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, byte/character counts provide the most precise size metrics.
