What is Character Counter?
Character counting is a fundamental text analysis task with practical applications across writing and digital marketing. Twitter/X limits posts to 280 characters. SMS messages are 160 characters for standard encoding (70 characters for Unicode messages). Google search result titles display up to ~60 characters and meta descriptions up to ~160 characters before truncation. Google Ads headlines are limited to 30 characters and descriptions to 90. Email subject lines above 60 characters are often clipped in inbox previews. This tool counts raw characters (with and without spaces), words (whitespace-delimited tokens), sentences, paragraphs (double-line-break separated blocks), and newline-separated lines.
