How do you determine how many characters you have in your book?

Question

The kind that you have on your 360-blogs--which limits you to 4000 characters only?

How does this numbering system work when I'm so used to word counts?

Answer 1

Usually the character count is on the same thing as the word count, but your question is pretty vague.

Answer 2

Character counts- it's the number of letters and punctuation marks.
