FAQ
- How are Korean words counted?
- Words are split by whitespace. In Korean, spacing units correspond to word units, so whitespace-based counting is the most common approach.
- Are emojis included in the character count?
- Yes, emojis are included. However, some emojis consist of multiple Unicode code points, so the count may be higher than what you see visually.
- Is there a maximum input length?
- There is no theoretical limit since it runs in the browser, but very long texts (hundreds of thousands of characters) may slow down performance.
