Invisible character β copy a blank space
An invisible character is a blank, space-like Unicode character you can copy and paste where normal spaces aren't allowed β an empty username, a blank message, or a gap in a bio. Tap the button below to copy one.
You won't see anything when you paste β that's the point. If one type gets rejected, try the next; apps trim spaces differently.
How it works
An invisible character is a blank, space-like Unicode character you can copy and paste where normal spaces aren't allowed β an empty username, a blank message, or a gap in a bio. Tap the button below to copy one.
It isn't a normal space; it's a character that takes up room but shows nothing, so apps that trim ordinary spaces still accept it.

Empty usernames, blank messages, spacing tricks.
The Origins of Invisible character β copy a blank space
Some Unicode characters are defined as having no visible glyph β like U+3164 (Hangul Filler) or U+2800 (Braille blank). They were created for specific writing systems, but they're useful anywhere you need 'something that looks like nothing' β a blank that survives where a regular space gets stripped.
Where to Use It
Blank or invisible usernames
Empty messages on chat apps
Spacing in bios where normal spaces are trimmed
Blank name fields in games (e.g. a space-only Free Fire name)
