Steps to verify
- Inspect spaces and tabs.
- Compare expected units with the count.
- Check the receiving service’s definition.
How to interpret the result
A comma alone does not create a whitespace boundary. This is not morphological or language-specific grammatical analysis.
Deciding what to do next
If a submission service uses its own count, inspect that result. Use URLTO for whitespace-based draft review.
Feature scope
Count code points, non-whitespace characters, UTF-8 bytes, whitespace-separated words and lines in the browser, not glyphs or every publishing service’s limits.
