Checking characters?

I have a question about characters. How do we check how many we have used? I am really, really new to PICO-8 and was wondering about this. 

Thank you for your time.

Hi LebbyFoxx! In the bottom-right side of your PICO-8 window, you should see a number. Probably a token counter. Click on it with your mouse to toggle it, and after a click or two, it should display your character count! :)

Thank you! Hopefully this new game development experience will go smoothly!

Note that PICO-8 counts glyph characters (the emojis you get when you type an uppercase letter) as 1 character, but Twitter counts it as two! That's because emojis are 2-byte unicode characters.

Ok, I'l have to remember that when making this game!
