A textarea character limit indicator is a UI feature that displays the number of characters entered and how close the user is to the maximum character limit. It helps users manage their input effectively. Here are some common types of indicators:

1. Character Counter

• Shows the number of characters entered or remaining, e.g., 100/250 or 150 characters remaining.

2. Progress Bar

• A visual bar that fills as the user types, indicating the percentage of characters used.

3. Color-Coded Warnings

• Changes the color from green to orange or red as the limit is approached to give a visual warning.

4. Real-Time Feedback

• Updates dynamically with each keystroke to ensure users are always aware of the character limit.
