क is counted as 1 character.
कि is counted as 2 characters.
क्रि is counted as 4 characters.

Even with UTF 16 its the same

And if I am not wrong xb uses ISO-8859-1 charset and that too shows the same result. So this tool is fine acc to me

Btw here is count tool with different charset options if you wanna test

I thought it was a bit odd that कि is not counted as 1 character.

It's not about which online tool is used for counting. Most of these tools won't understand the rules of combining matras with consonants, unless there is a tool designed with Hindi in mind.

It's about whether you are using a character count or word count.

In earlier contests, I think the count was done with words, in which case you won't see this issue. Also, you won't see a discrepancy between the word count whether the story is written in Devanagari script or Latin script.

But anyways ... if you are fine with counting कि as 2, but क as 1, then it's all okay.

If you're a mobile user and unable to post story in one go, then contact any organiser before posting the story they will guide you.

You can contact them in PM.

'ki' also counted as 2 in Hinglish, just like कि count 2 as matra, its same
