Proxy handler to word-counter
character-counter maps to type proxy, slug word-counter in missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts. UI and counting logic identical to word-counter — SEO slug differs only.
Characters with and without spaces
Total characters include every code point — letters, digits, punctuation, emoji, and spaces. Characters without spaces exclude space, tab, and newline for platforms measuring visible length only.
Relationship to word-counter
word-counter is canonical vocabulary page. character-counter, sentence-counter, and paragraph-counter frame alternate search terms while sharing word-counter or generic-text backends.
Developer maxlength validation
Validate textarea prototypes against maxlength before wiring backend validation. Paste string values alone for accurate length excluding JSON quoting.
Client-side privacy
Draft text never uploads for counting. Clear input after sensitive drafting on shared machines.
