Character Counter
Count characters, words, and bytes in your text instantly. Supports Korean character counting rules used in the NEIS education system.
About Character Counter
Paste or type any text and Character Counter instantly shows you the character count, word count, and byte size — no button press required. It also applies the specific counting rules used by South Korea's NEIS school administration system, where Korean syllable blocks are counted differently from ASCII characters. If you've ever had a submission rejected because your editor counted characters one way and the form counted them another, this closes that gap.
It's a focused tool with no setup: open it, drop in your text, read the numbers. That makes it especially useful on mobile, where you can paste directly from a messaging app and check your count before sending. If you enjoy small, single-purpose productivity tools like this one, there's a lot more in that category. For something that works the other direction — measuring how fast you produce text rather than how much — Typing Speed Test is worth a look.
