Count characters in a text exactly as KitBench's character counter does. Counts user-perceived characters (grapheme clusters: emoji sequences, combining marks and flags count as 1), plus counts excluding newlines and whitespace, half-width characters counted as 0.5, lines, paragraphs, Japanese manuscript paper (genkō yōshi, 20x20) sheets, UTF-8 bytes, English words, and a breakdown into hiragana, katakana, kanji, Latin letters, digits and other. Strong for Japanese text and character limits. Text up to 200,000 characters.
