From the developer

Jan Teriete's own description of Posts Character Count Admin, lightly tidied.

This plugin adds a column with the character count for each post to the posts overview in the Manage Posts SubPanel.
Additionally it informs about the character count for each post in the Edit Posts SubPanel (near the Word Count). So you
are up to date with the word and the character count while writing or editing your posts (after saving).
