Important Notes
- Character count includes all characters: letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation, and special characters. Emojis count as single characters.
- Characters without spaces excludes spaces. Useful for understanding actual content length vs total length including spaces.
- Words are counted by splitting on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Each sequence of non-whitespace characters is a word.
- Sentences are counted by finding sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?). The count includes all occurrences.
- Lines are counted by splitting on newline characters. Each line break creates a new line, including empty lines.
