Check a short draft

“Hello world!” has 2 words and 12 characters, including the space and exclamation mark. Emoji count as Unicode code points rather than bytes.

Check a character limit

“Hello world!” contains 12 characters including the space and exclamation mark. Paste only the text that will enter the destination field. A platform can count emoji or combined characters differently, so confirm a strict limit in that platform too.

When to use it

Use the word total to check a draft limit, and the character total for a field with a character limit. A platform may count emoji differently.
