# Characters Counter

You can implement a character counter for the Input by utilizing its [`value`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/inputs/api/inputprops#value) and [`onChange`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/inputs/api/inputprops#onchange) properties to adjust the counter each time the value changes.

The following example demonstrates the KendoReact Input component with a characters counter in action.
