should
In the IT field at least, I would say "should" here.
"The character count should also include line feed characters and all other hidden characters."
In legal field, this would be "shall"
I would say "is included" if the original Japanese was just 含む instead of 含むこととする

shall
It is not possible to say accurately without more context, but if it is a contract or the like then "shall" would be more suitable than "should".
i.e. "Line feed characters and all other undisplayed characters shall be included in the character count"
i.e. "Line feed characters and all other undisplayed characters shall be included in the character count"

is included (as being included、will be included)
shall is okay, too, but that is equal to "should"
