Frequently asked questions
Do emoji count as one character?
Here every emoji counts as one, which matches what you see. Some platforms count certain emoji as two.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type or open is sent to a server, so it is safe for private and work data, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
