 * Hi odanicola,
 * Using JQuery, following code validates the character limitation in WordPress 
   Editor, please check this
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
   
       function check_editor()
       {
       // Regular Expression to remove HTML Tags
           var regX = /(<([^>]+)>)/ig;
       //  WordPress auto added  Your Wp editor id+"_ifr"
           htmlcon =
         jQuery('#your_editor_id_ifr').contents().find("body").html();	
   
       // Replace HTML 
   
          char =  htmlcon.replace(regX, "");
   
       // check character limit
   
          if(char.length > 10)
           {
            alert("Limit Exceed");
            }
           return false;
   
       	}
   
       </script>
   
        <form action="" onsubmit="return check_editor()" method="post">
   
          <?php wp_editor('Some Text','your_editor_id'); ?> 
   
          <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Check" /> 
   
         </form>
       ```
   
 * Thanks
