Why script matters

Latin text averages around 4 characters per token, but CJK, Arabic, Korean, and Thai commonly consume about 1 token per character. Counting tokens correctly for mixed scripts requires weighting each writing system.

What Is a Multilingual Token Counter?

The Multilingual Token Counter estimates tokens for text written in any language. Because different writing systems tokenize at very different rates, it breaks the estimate down per script, such as CJK, Arabic, Korean, Thai, Cyrillic, and Latin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tokenizers split text by predicting token boundaries. Latin text commonly averages 4 characters per token, whereas CJK and other scripts frequently use about one token per character.
The breakdown covers CJK ideographs, Japanese kana, Hangul, Arabic, Thai, Cyrillic, and extended Latin, plus ASCII.
It is a close approximation. Precise counts come from the vendor tokenizer, which may group characters slightly differently in mixed-script text.
