Are there a large number of books where using a value of 1000 causes very bad numbers and is this larger than the number of books where using 0 causes very bad numbers. Fake emoji I think we can safely dscount. What remains is dividers used between schenes/chapters and things like header images per chapter. Add half a page for each of these is not a bad tradeoff when in any imae heavy books, such as, say calibre news downloads, or technical books, or history books with images, it causes undercounts.

I've seen a lot of eBooks that use graphic images to deal with special characters. So these graphics that takes the place of text will get 1000 characters when they are a lot smaller. Can that sort of thing be fixed?
