Helpful Information
Character counting explained
Every character in your text is counted individually — letters, digits, spaces, punctuation, and special symbols. The tool provides separate counts so you can see exactly what makes up your text.

Toggle the 'Include spaces' option to see the total character count with or without whitespace. This is useful when platforms count characters differently.
