How to use and counting rules
- Character and byte counts update as you type.
- Choose the measure and limit required by your application form or publishing platform.
- Edit the text, then copy it or save it as TXT.
Counting example
Hello UBIS!contains 11 characters including whitespace, 10 excluding whitespace, and 11 UTF-8 bytes. Use Insert example to check it.
How are Korean text and emoji counted?
Modern browsers count combined emoji and Korean text as visible character clusters. Excluding whitespace removes spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Words are whitespace-separated groups; lines are counted by line breaks. Empty text has 0 lines.
Why might another site show a different count?
Bytes are measured in UTF-8. A typical Korean syllable uses 3 bytes; Latin letters, digits, and ordinary spaces use 1 byte. Systems using EUC-KR or other counting rules may differ, so check the destination form before submitting. TXT files use UTF-8 without a BOM.
What if typing or copying does not work?
Split documents that exceed the input limit. If clipboard access is blocked, select and copy the text directly in the input field.
Privacy and file processing
This tool does not send your input or selected files to a processing server or write them to browser storage. Refreshing or closing the page clears your work. Save any results you need first.

What to check
Characters and UTF-8 bytes are different measurements. Check any external submission rules.
Examples use synthetic, non-personal test material. Results apply to the inputs and settings shown; different files and devices can produce different sizes, timing and appearance.
