How It Works
The Non-Alphanumeric Character Counter works by scanning your text and identifying all characters that are not letters (A-Z, a-z) or numbers (0-9). These include punctuation marks like commas, periods, and exclamation points, as well as symbols like @, #, and spaces. The tool then calculates the total number of these non-alphanumeric characters and displays the result instantly. It’s like having a personal editor who checks your text for unnecessary clutter!
