Frequently Asked Questions

How are Chinese characters counted?

Chinese characters (CJK Unified Ideographs) are detected using Unicode ranges U+4E00-U+9FFF and U+3400-U+4DBF. Each character within these ranges is counted as one CJK character, while Latin letters, numbers, and punctuation are counted separately.

How does word segmentation work?

If your browser supports Intl.Segmenter, word segmentation uses the built-in Chinese language segmenter. This API identifies word boundaries in Chinese text without spaces. If unavailable, each CJK character is counted as one word as a fallback.

How is reading time calculated for Chinese?

Reading time is estimated at 350 characters per minute, which is the average silent reading speed for Chinese text.
