In contrast with `countwords` function, which counts every word in a string, the `countrunes` function determines the number of runes in the content and excludes any whitespace. This has specific utility if you are dealing with CJK-like languages.
```html
{{ "Hello, 世界" | countrunes }}
<!-- outputs a content length of 8 runes. -->
```
