How invisible characters work
An invisible character is a real Unicode character that draws no visible mark. Some are spaces of different widths, some have no width at all, and some are used to control how text joins together. Because apps treat them differently, one character may work as a blank name in one app and be rejected in another. Try another character from the list if the first one does not work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an invisible character?
It is a Unicode character that takes up space in the text but shows nothing on screen, such as the Hangul Filler or the Braille Pattern Blank.
Which invisible character should I use for a blank name?
Hangul Filler (U+3164) and Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800) are the most commonly used. Results depend on the app, so try both.
How can I check that it was copied?
Paste into the test box at the bottom of the tool. The character count goes up by the number of characters you copied.
Why does an app say the text is empty?
Some apps trim spaces or remove characters they treat as blank. Another character from the list may be accepted.
Are invisible characters safe to use?
They are normal text characters. Do not use them to hide content or mislead people, because many sites and platforms check for that.
