Get the total Word Count
This plugin does a very simple thing. It counts the words passed to it in text lists. For example you have a list of paragraphs in your database and you want to find the sum of the  counts of the words in the paragraphs.  

Now supports non-latin characters, unicode, emojis ...  

See the service page for Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic examples.


Deals with emojis 😀 👌.
Deals with diacrit chars - São Paulo, Göttingen, Córdoba, Dalí, Molière, Čapek

Japanese - なまえは なん ですか
Cyrillic - Ар ю сириесли аскинг зис квэсчен?
korean - 저는 7년 동안 한국에서 살았어요

(an probably other languages just I haven't tested)


Also does a single paragraph for convenience.

The paragraphs or lists can come from anything - eg custom states, input fields - but the main use case is to count words in fields of your database.

Has both a Client side & Server side action.

A naive word count implementation is to split by spaces and count the groups - this is not accurate.  This is not how this plugin counts words. This plugin recognises what are non word characters beyond latin or ascii characters sets.

Doesn't quite do what you want? DM me in the forum @lindsay_knowcode

Upgraded to run on Plugin V4
