How text is processed
Words follow English word segmentation. Characters are perceived symbols: a composed accent or family emoji counts as one character.
Practical example

Lines include blank lines and the final line after a newline. Blank lines separate paragraphs. Editors may count apostrophes, hyphens and emoji differently.
