Invisible Character

An invisible character is a Unicode character that takes space but shows nothing, such as the Hangul filler (U+3164). Copy one for a blank name, an empty bio line or hidden spacing, and test any text for hidden characters.

Hidden Character Detector

Text copied from websites, PDFs and chats can carry invisible characters that break logins, searches and code. Paste any text and every hidden character is revealed in place with a red tag, named and counted. Then remove them, or turn the hidden spaces into normal ones, in one click.

Which Invisible Character to Use

Each blank character behaves differently. Compare the most useful ones.

Width of Each Blank Character

"Invisible" does not mean "no width". Some blanks take a full square; others take none. Approximate width relative to a normal space:

Ideographic space4 × space
Hangul filler4 × space
Braille blank2 × space
Normal space1 × space
Thin space0.6 × space
Zero width space0 × space

Widths depend on the font; these are typical values in phone system fonts.

Invisible Character FAQs

Can I have a blank name in Free Fire or PUBG?

Many players use the Hangul filler (U+3164) for a blank-looking name, but each game can block it at any time. Check the rename preview.

Are invisible characters safe?

Yes, they are normal Unicode text. Some platforms flag blank names, so a name that works today can be rejected later.

How do I find hidden characters in text?

Paste the text into the detector above; every hidden character shows as a red tag with its name.

How do I add an empty line to my Instagram bio?

Put a braille blank (⠀, U+2800) on the empty line; Instagram removes truly empty lines.

What is a zero width space?

U+200B: a character with no width that allows a line break inside a long word. It often hides in copied web text.

Will removing hidden characters break emoji?

Removing zero width joiners splits combined emoji such as 👨‍👩‍👧 into separate faces. Use "turn into spaces" for text-only content.
