Description
Count supplied single-code-point marks in text.
Language and manuscript records use explicit source labels, scripts, era-year conventions and text/area units. A literal split, Unicode slot or page-area calculation preserves supplied notation without resolving pronunciation, historical dates, manuscript identity or conservation needs.
Count supplied single-code-point marks in text.
When to use this tool
Use Public Text Syllable Mark Count when checking the stated language, manuscript, era-label or Unicode convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter text, suppliedMarks. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read marks. Use the output convention below.
Count supplied single-code-point marks in text. Require each supplied mark contain exactly one Unicode code point; iterate text code points and count membership matches.1
Unicode code points, UTF-16 code units and graphemes are different counting units. Precomposed modern Hangul syllables also have an algorithmic trailing-jamo slot, distinct from linguistic analysis.2
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| text | Text | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedMarks | Supplied Marks | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| marks | Marks | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Marks need not be linguistic syllable boundaries and repeated mark labels do not multiply a hit; no actual segmentation occurs.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect the original text/manuscript and its documented language, edition, calendar and encoding conventions for substantive linguistic, historical or conservation interpretation.
