What languages does Character Counter support for Beijing users?

Note: languages without word spaces (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Thai) use character count rather than word count as the primary length metric.

Glossary

Concepts behind the numbers

The vocabulary writers and editors in Beijing run into when they review counts.

Word countSource ↗
The total number of word tokens in a piece of text, typically derived by splitting on whitespace and punctuation. Common in publishing, education, and SEO as a length metric.
Character countSource ↗
The total number of code points (or graphemes, in Unicode-aware tools) in a text. Platforms like SMS and Twitter enforce limits in characters, not words.
UnicodeSource ↗
The international standard that assigns a unique number to every character in every script. Modern text tools use Unicode so counts work consistently across languages and emoji.
Intl.SegmenterSource ↗
A JavaScript API that splits text into Unicode graphemes, words, and sentences using the same locale rules browsers use natively. Tools that use it count complex scripts correctly.

How we count, and when this page was checked

Word and character counts on this page use the browser's Unicode-aware Intl.Segmenter API, so figures match the underlying graphemes rather than guessing from byte length. Reading-time estimates default to 238 wpm (Brysbaert, 2019). Last editorial review: 2026-05-23.
