Feature description

Add character count to the word count.
Maybe "iwords/chars"

Why do you want this feature?

I write in Notes first and then paste it into an app that has a character limit.

The "character count" wording is vague here. Do you expect a total number of characters of a document, or the "lines and character offset" as in this example in Vim?

Also, the character count doesn't equal byte count when a Unicode (UTF-8) text document is involved.

Total number of characters in the document.

I'd really love this feature, since it is often necessary when drafting up this to post on various platforms (especially ones that have character limits but do not indicate your post's current length), but it's very hard to find a tool that has this on Android.
