FAQ
Why do Korean bytes differ?
UTF-8 uses multiple bytes per Hangul character. Honor the form’s byte vs character rule.
Are spaces counted?
Usually yes. Strip spaces or use an option if the form excludes them.
Word count rules?
Typically whitespace-separated tokens; Korean spacing changes the count a lot.
Are files uploaded to a server?
