Count Chinese characters (汉字), Latin words, and total word count for mixed Chinese-English text. Live, free, in your browser. No upload — runs 100% in your browser
Chinese text has no spaces between words, so there is no purely mechanical way to split it exactly the way a dictionary would. The working convention — used by word processors' 字数统计 and by most submission systems — is to count each Chinese character as one unit, and each space-separated Latin word as one unit. That is exactly what this page does, and it reports the parts separately (han characters, Latin words, total) so you can quote the number your audience expects.
Chinese essay requirements ("不少于800字") are satisfied by the han-character count. Mixed documents (a paper with an English abstract, a bilingual product page) need the combined figure. Punctuation is counted in the character totals but not in the word count, matching how Word reports 字数 versus 字符数.
Paste anything — the counts update on every keystroke. Japanese kana are detected and counted like Latin words (as units), while CJK ideographs count per character. Everything happens locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

No. Chinese and Latin punctuation are included in the character totals but excluded from the word count, matching the standard 字数 convention.
Kanji are counted like Chinese characters (per character) and kana are counted as word units. The tool's word count follows the same convention used for CJK word statistics.
Word's 字数 uses the same character-per-word convention for CJK, but its Latin word splitting can differ around hyphens and numbers. For the common cases the numbers agree.
