About the numbers
- Characters: grapheme-aware, so emoji count as one.
- Words: word segmentation for languages like English; per-character for CJK scripts.
- Bytes: size when encoded as UTF-8.
- Reading time: based on roughly 200 words per minute.

FAQ
- Can I use it to check a tweet / X post?
- The "Characters" value is a good guide, but each platform counts links and emoji its own way — double-check in the composer before posting.
- Does it count whitespace in the word count?
- No. Words are based on word-like segments, not on splitting by spaces alone.
