Character Counter

Live text statistics that update on every keystroke. As you type or paste into the editor, the Statistics card displays seven metrics in a responsive grid: total characters, characters excluding whitespace, words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, and UTF-8 byte count. No button is required; everything is recomputed instantly via useMemo.

1. Type or paste your text into the editor textarea (10 rows, monospace). 2. Watch the Statistics grid update live. 3. Read off any of the seven metrics for your content.

Characters is the raw string length. Characters (no spaces) strips all whitespace (\s) before counting. Words splits the trimmed text on \s+ and counts non-empty tokens. Lines counts newline-separated segments (an empty input is 0). Sentences splits on .!? runs and counts non-empty fragments. Paragraphs splits on blank-line separators (\n\s*\n) and counts non-empty blocks. Bytes uses TextEncoder to report the UTF-8 byte length, which differs from the character count for non-ASCII text such as emoji or CJK characters.
