# Input group: Character count

> `<InputGroupCount />` counts against the field's `maxLength`. Only the digits that change roll. The count darkens near the limit and turns red at it, and a typed key past the limit nudges it. Screen readers hear a message when the field gets close to the limit and when it reaches it, never on every key.
