Frequently asked questions
Does an emoji count as one character?
A joined emoji can be one grapheme but several code points; both counts are shown.
What is excluded from the no-space count?
Graphemes made entirely of Unicode whitespace, including spaces, tabs and newlines.
Are these linguistic word counts?
They are Unicode word-like segments. Vietnamese syllables may count separately; this is not a linguistic word analysis.
