 Replying to [comment:27 iseulde]:
 > @helen, @Nao, so would certain characters be excluded from this count?
 Or would it just count every character? What about spaces? If it should
 work just like Twitter, it would include all that.

 For Japanese, every character matches to `[\S \u00A0\u3000]` shoud
 basically be counted. Please check out the
 [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-multibyte-
 patch/tags/2.3.1/js/word-count.js WP Multibyte Patch's word-count.js] for
 more details. There are some exceptions.
