    CHINESE, JAPANESE & KOREAN TEXT COUNT

    A Unicode-aware character counter for CJK text

    Use it as a Chinese character counter, Japanese character counter or Korean text counter. Beyond words and characters, it identifies the scripts inside multilingual copy without sending text to a server.

    Count complete Unicode characters

    Emoji families, combining marks and other grapheme sequences count as the single visible character users expect.

    Break down CJK scripts

    Measure Han ideographs, Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, Latin letters, numbers, punctuation and symbols separately.

    Track frequency and a target

    Find repeated characters and set a target for descriptions, assignments, submissions and form limits.

    How to count Chinese and CJK characters

    1. Type or paste text, or import a supported text or DOCX file.
    2. Review characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines and UTF-8 bytes.
    3. Use the script breakdown, frequency list and target progress for a closer check.

    Character counter questions

    What is the difference between characters and Han characters?

    Characters include letters, numbers, punctuation, whitespace and line breaks. Han characters count only Unicode Han ideographs shared across Chinese, Japanese and Korean writing systems.

    Why is the byte count different from the character count?

    Characters describe visible text units. Bytes describe encoded storage. In UTF-8, an English letter is usually 1 byte while a common Han character is usually 3 bytes.

    Are imported Word files uploaded?

    No. DOCX text is extracted in your browser and is not sent to JianFan.app or a third-party conversion server.

    How much text can I count?

    The tool accepts up to 3 million characters. Longer input runs in a background worker; split anything larger into sections.
