Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between character count and string length?: Character count typically counts visible characters, while string length includes all characters including spaces, line breaks, and special characters.
Does this support Unicode characters?: Yes, our calculator properly handles Unicode characters, emojis, and characters from all languages, providing accurate byte counts for different encodings.
What encoding formats are supported?: We support UTF-8, UTF-16, ASCII, and other common text encodings, showing how string length varies across different formats.
Why do byte counts differ between encodings?: Different encodings use different amounts of bytes per character. ASCII uses 1 byte per character, while UTF-8 uses 1-4 bytes depending on the character.
