About String Inspector

Count the characters, words, lines, bytes and code points in text, and see each character's Unicode code point and UTF-8 bytes.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the character counts differ?

An emoji like 👍🏽 is one character to a reader, but two code points and four UTF-16 units. Each count is shown separately.

How do I find hidden characters?

The breakdown lists every character with its code point, so zero-width spaces and look-alike letters stand out.

Is what I paste sent anywhere?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and never sends what you type or paste to a server.

Is it free?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up and no limits.
