❓ Frequently Asked Questions​

Q1. What's the difference between including and excluding spaces?​

Including spaces counts all characters including spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Excluding spaces counts only pure characters.

Q2. Are Korean and English character counts different?​

Yes, in UTF-8 encoding, one Korean character is 3 bytes, one English character is 1 byte. However, character counts are calculated the same.

Q3. How is word count calculated?​

Text chunks separated by spaces (space, tab, line break) are counted as words. Accurate for English, but Korean uses spacing as the standard.

Q4. How are sentences counted?​

Periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?) are recognized as sentence endings for calculation.

Q5. Why are bytes needed?​

Some systems or databases limit by bytes, not character count. Especially for Korean, bytes are 3 times more than character count.

Q6. Is the entered text saved?​

No! Entered text is processed only in your browser and is not sent to the server. Your privacy is completely protected.

Q7. Can I use it on mobile?​

Yes! All features are optimized for mobile.
