Although I know how many letters there are in the five books of the Torah, 304,805, I do not know how many letters there are in Neviim and Kesuvim.
So, my question is, "How many letters are there in Tanach?"

This is a difficult question to answer, because even different Masoretic codices may have different numbers of characters.– ArgonJan 1, 2018 at 1:20

I have found an answer to my question after a long time of copying and pasting.
In Tanach, there are 1,196,824 letters. This does not include Kri, but only the Ksiv. It includes the 9 inverted nuns.
