Does this support Chinese text?

Yes! Chinese characters (including Chinese punctuation) are correctly counted. Chinese 'characters' and English 'words' are counted separately. Mixed Chinese-English text is also accurately analyzed.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All counting is done locally in your browser. No text data is ever uploaded to any server. You can safely paste sensitive content.

What's the difference between characters and bytes?

Character count is the number of visible characters in the text (including spaces and punctuation). Byte count is the storage size of the text in UTF-8 encoding. Chinese characters typically use 3 bytes each, while English characters use 1 byte. This tool displays both counts.

Can I paste large amounts of text?

Yes! You can paste text of any length, and the counter updates in real-time. For very large texts (over 100,000 characters), there may be slight delay, but functionality remains fully intact.
