How the calculation works
Count Unicode code points, including spaces and punctuation. Emoji and combining marks count as separate code points where applicable, not grapheme clusters, bytes or rendered width. This count does not predict a search-engine snippet. Empty text counts as zero. Counts and dimensions use the declared rounding convention; other numbers display up to three decimal places where applicable. Nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. Durations round to the nearest second; nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. File-size output units are decimal. Changing an input label does not convert filled values.
Example
Worked example: Meta Description = "A😀é". Result: 4.
Practical tip
Check the input labels and assumptions against the meta description character task before reusing the number.
