Frequently asked questions

How does this counter handle emoji and CJK characters?
It uses the browser's Intl.Segmenter API to count true graphemes — so 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 counts as 1 character, not 11. CJK text without spaces is segmented using language-aware word boundaries.
Are SMS segments calculated correctly?
Yes. The tool detects whether your text fits the GSM-7 charset (70 chars per segment) or requires UCS-2 (70 chars first segment, 67 chars subsequent). Multi-segment encoding rules are followed exactly.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser. For very large texts (>100KB), processing moves to a Web Worker to keep the UI responsive.
