A quick guide
Use the number with context
The answer is only useful when you know what it includes and what it leaves out.
Formula
Words = Unicode word-like segments; characters = Unicode code points; lines = line breaks + 1
Use the counts as editing guidance; publishing systems may count tokens or grapheme clusters differently.
Make it concrete
Worked example
The sentence “नमस्ते दुनिया” is counted with Unicode-aware segmentation rather than ASCII-only matching.
