A few small questions.
Do spaces count as characters?
The main character total includes spaces and line breaks. A second count excludes whitespace.
How are paragraphs counted?
A paragraph is a block of text separated by one or more blank lines. An empty editor has zero paragraphs.
Does this work with languages other than English?
Modern browsers use language-aware segmentation for word counting. Counts can differ across browsers, particularly for languages without spaces.
