Remove letters and digits from text

Paste your text and every Cyrillic letter, Latin letter and digit is stripped out in one pass — punctuation, spaces and any other characters (emoji, currency signs, math symbols) stay exactly where they were. Useful for stripping alphanumeric content down to its raw punctuation and symbol skeleton.

Characters removed

This page has no server side at all. The table you paste is parsed by JavaScript inside your own browser, the chart is drawn on a canvas element on your machine, and the export file is assembled locally. Nothing is uploaded, stored or written to any log. You can disconnect from the network after the page has loaded and everything will still work — which is the simplest way to verify the claim yourself.

When it misleads you

How it is calculated

The tool runs a single regular expression, /[а-яёА-ЯЁa-zA-Z0-9]/g, over the text and replaces every match with nothing. It scans the text once, character by character.

The pattern combines three ranges into one match set: the Russian Cyrillic alphabet in both cases plus ё/Ё, the 26-letter Latin alphabet in both cases, and the ten ASCII digits 0-9.

Everything outside those three ranges — punctuation, spaces, line breaks, emoji, symbols from other alphabets, currency signs — passes through unchanged, in its original position.

"Characters removed" is the difference between the original text length and the result length, since every removed character is either one letter or one digit.

Questions and answers

How is this different from removing just letters or just digits?

This tool combines both operations in a single pass: every letter (Cyrillic or Latin) and every digit 0-9 is removed together, rather than one at a time. Use the standalone letter or digit remover if you only need one of the two.

What's left after running this on a typical sentence?

Mostly punctuation, spaces and any symbols that aren't letters or digits — the result is usually sparse, since most ordinary text is made of letters. It's most useful on short structured strings like codes or IDs.

Does it remove accented letters or full-width digits?

No. Only plain a-zA-Z, а-яёА-ЯЁ and 0-9 are removed. Accented Latin, non-Russian Cyrillic and full-width or superscript digits fall outside those ranges and stay in the text.

Are emoji or currency symbols affected?

No, they're neither letters nor digits, so they're left untouched — they may end up sitting right next to each other once the surrounding letters and digits are gone.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The whole operation runs in your browser; the text is never transmitted anywhere.
