    How this counter handles edge cases

    Unicode-aware counting

    The counter handles emoji, accented characters, CJK text, tabs, and mixed whitespace using modern browser text segmentation where available.

    Word counting behavior

    Words are identified using language-aware segmentation when supported. Fallback logic is used for older browsers.

    Character counting behavior

    Character counts are based on visible text units to better match user expectations with emoji and combined characters.

    How to Use

    1. Paste or type text in the input box.
    2. Review live word, character, line, and paragraph metrics.
    3. Clear or export after reviewing your limits.

    Example: Check essay word limits before submission. See full use case.
