How are emoji and multi-byte characters handled?

Text is iterated by Unicode code point, so emoji and surrogate pairs are shown as single correct entries.

What's the difference between UTF-16 units and UTF-8 bytes?

UTF-16 units count JavaScript string length contribution, while UTF-8 bytes show the encoded size used on the wire or on disk.

Is there a character limit?

The breakdown table shows up to the first 500 characters for performance.

Can I copy the full breakdown?

Yes, use Copy table to get a tab-separated summary of every analyzed character.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored on our servers.
