Add Character Count Feature in Code Editor #144

Description

Description
Currently, the editor does not display the number of characters written in the code area. Adding a character counter would improve user experience by helping users track code length while typing.

Proposed Solution
Add a live character count display below or near the editor.
Update the count dynamically as the user types.
Example:
Characters: 120
Benefits
Better user feedback
Improves usability of the editor
Beginner-friendly enhancement
Possible Implementation
Use the editor state/value length to calculate total characters.
Render the count in the editor footer or toolbar section.

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.
