Count characters precisely with full Unicode support — emojis, accents, and special characters are correctly counted as single characters. Perfect for fitting your message into Twitter, SMS, or meta descriptions.
What’s the difference between characters and bytes?
A character is one visible unit (a letter, emoji, or symbol). A byte is the storage unit. In UTF-8, basic Latin letters take 1 byte, accented letters typically 2 bytes, and emojis 4 bytes. SMS networks count bytes, Twitter counts characters.
