Whitespace words and Unicode graphemes

Trimmed text is split on Unicode whitespace for a basic word count. Grapheme segmentation counts combined marks and emoji sequences as a visible character; lines follow newline boundaries.

Words = whitespace-delimited tokens; characters = Unicode grapheme clusters

No. Counting runs locally in the browser and no text is sent with analytics events.

How are emoji counted?

Unicode grapheme clusters are used where supported, so joined emoji sequences count as one visible character.
