Whether OneSky count an emoji/ emoticon as a word depends on the context of it.
Emoji and Emoticon
- Single unicode characters as one word
- Combined punctuations as emoticons
- As there are combinations not as standardized as unicode block standards, they may be counted according to the components they have, here are some examples:
- : - ) has no word as punctuations include no word count
- =P counted as one word as the letter P is counted as one word
- < 3 counted as one word as the number 3 is counted as one word
- As there are combinations not as standardized as unicode block standards, they may be counted according to the components they have, here are some examples:

@geometry dash meltdown Thanks for your suggestion.
That's a great explanation of how emoji and emoticons are counted as words! It’s fascinating how these symbols and characters are handled differently depending on their context and Unicode blocks. Here's a brief summary of what you shared:
Single Unicode characters are typically counted as one word each, including:
Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs
Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs
Emoticons
Transport and Map Symbols
Miscellaneous Symbols
Dingbats
Combined punctuations as emoticons:
:-)(no words, as punctuations don't count)=P(counted as one word, since the letter P is a word)<3(counted as one word, since the number 3 is a word)MyCentura Patient Portal

Well, clarifying emoji counting! Emojis aren’t counted as words in OneSky’s translation process, which is helpful for accurate pricing and word count estimates. This ensures consistency across languages, especially for multilingual projects. Could you add examples of how emojis impact character counts in different languages? Thanks for the clear explanation!
