Byte Counter

Why do I need a byte counter?

Especially in IT applications or in online forms, there is sometimes no character limit but a byte limit. This is due to data processing, which is sometimes designed for a maximum amount of data and not for a permitted number of characters. The byte value and number of characters can differ in texts. This is particularly the case with special characters, for example "®".
