Count Korean text by grapheme, line, and byte with deterministic contracts for forms and character limits.
What is korean-character-count?
Counts Korean characters accurately using grapheme clusters rather than simple character codes, respecting the linguistic structure of Hangul. Use this when you need exact character, line, or byte counts for Korean text in forms, self-introductions, or any context with strict length limits.
- Counts Korean text by grapheme clusters for accurate character length
- Provides line-count metrics for multi-line Korean text
- Reports byte counts for Korean text encoding
- Ensures deterministic, reproducible results across runtimes
- Respects Hangul linguistic structure and combining characters

korean-character-count FAQ
Korean Hangul uses combining characters and complex grapheme clusters that simple character counts miss. Grapheme counting reflects how users actually perceive text length.
Grapheme counts linguistic units (how many characters a user sees), line counts breaks in text, and byte counts encoding size—each matters for different validation scenarios.
This skill is optimized for Korean (ko-KR locale) and Hangul text structure; use general Unicode tools for mixed-language content.
