An **invisible character** is a real Unicode character that shows up as nothing: no letter, no mark, just empty space or no space at all. You can copy it, paste it and send it like any other text, which is why people use it for **blank names**, **empty-looking messages** and spacing that an app would otherwise remove. The same characters also hide inside ordinary text by accident, where they break searches, passwords and code. This page does both jobs: it copies blank text, and it finds and removes hidden characters. ## How to copy an invisible character 1. Stay on **Copy blank text** and pick a character. The Hangul Filler (U+3164) is selected to start with, because it is the one that works in the most places. 2. Choose **how many**: tap 1, 3, 5, 10, 50 or 100, or type any number up to 2,000. 3. Choose **In a row** for one blank stretch, or **One per line** for a column of empty-looking lines. 4. Tap the big **Copy** button, then paste into a name field, a bio or a message. The box under the button shows each character you copied as a small label, since the real thing is, of course, invisible. ## Frequently asked questions **What is an invisible character?** A real Unicode character that shows as nothing, such as the Hangul Filler (U+3164), the braille blank (U+2800) or the zero width space (U+200B). You can copy, paste and send it like normal text, but it looks empty. **How do I copy and paste an invisible character?** Pick a character, choose how many you need (1 to 2,000) and tap Copy. Then paste it into a name field, bio or message like any other text. **What is blank text?** Text made only of invisible characters. It looks empty but counts as text, so you can use it for blank messages, empty-looking names, extra empty lines in a bio, or wide gaps that normal spaces can't make. **Which invisible character works best for a blank name?** The Hangul Filler (U+3164) often works, because it is a letter rather than a space and isn't trimmed. If it is rejected, try the braille blank (U+2800) or the halfwidth Hangul Filler. Every app sets its own rules. **How do I send a blank message?** Copy one Hangul Filler or braille blank, paste it in the message box and send. If the send button stays gray, the app removed it; try the other character or paste two. **Why doesn't my blank name or message work?** Many apps trim spaces and remove zero-width characters, and some block known blank characters on purpose. Try another kind, use two or three characters, or add one small visible character such as a dot. **How can I see invisible characters in text?** Open Find & remove and paste the text. Every hidden character shows up as a small label in its exact position, with a table of each kind, its code point and how many there are. **How do I remove invisible characters from text?** Paste the text into Find & remove, choose what to remove (zero-width characters, blank letters, direction marks, control characters, unusual spaces) and copy the clean text. Emoji stay intact by default. **What is the Unicode code for an invisible character?** Common ones are U+3164 (Hangul Filler), U+2800 (braille pattern blank), U+200B (zero width space), U+00A0 (no-break space) and U+FEFF (zero width no-break space). The table on this page lists them all with HTML codes. **How do I type an invisible character on a keyboard?** On Windows, hold Alt and type 0160 on the number pad for a no-break space; on a Mac, Option + Space types one. For blank names, copying the Hangul Filler works better, because a no-break space counts as a space. ## Related tools - [Text Repeater](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-repeater/): Repeat any word, sentence or emoji up to 10,000 times, with new lines, spaces, commas or numbers, then copy it or download it as a .txt file. - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Discord Text Formatter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/discord-text-formatter/): Format Discord messages with a live preview, make timestamps that show in every reader's own time zone, and build colored text with ANSI code blocks. - [Username Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/username-generator/): Username ideas in 12 styles, built around your name if you like, sized for 11 platforms’ rules, with short names, matching pairs and a rule checker for any username. - [Word Counter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/word-counter/): Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and pages in real time — plus a readability checker (Flesch, Gunning Fog and more), a plain-English writing check, reading and speaking time, word frequency, and live character limits. - [Case Converter](https://linguaholic.com/tools/case-converter/): Change text to Title Case (APA, MLA, Chicago or AP), Sentence case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, camelCase, snake_case and more, then copy or download it.
