It counts the number of characters in a post. This allows you to see how many characters you've used up in a post.

Bigugly, The difference is just the amount of charactures, correct?
It's like that for a reason, because 1000 is the limit, unlike in posts, which is 65000 now days.

The counter only reads once you have edited the text are unfortunately.
