Invisible Text

Blank characters that apps count as real text. Use them for empty names, blank messages and line breaks that don’t disappear from your bio.

  • Hangul Filler U+3164 · full width

    Blank names in games, Discord and WhatsApp; the most widely accepted "empty" character.

  • Braille Pattern Blank U+2800 · space width

    Empty messages and blank lines in Instagram bios and captions. Renders as a space-sized gap.

  • Zero Width Space U+200B · zero width

    Invisible separator; breaks up words and stops auto-linking. Many apps strip it from names.

  • No-Break Space U+00A0 · space width

    A space that stops the line from breaking; some apps treat it as real content.

  • Em Space U+2003 · wide

    A wide space for indenting lines in bios.

  • Halfwidth Hangul Filler U+FFA0 · half width

    Narrower blank for names with a character minimum.

Paste any text to reveal hidden characters. Blank and zero-width characters are highlighted.

Why a normal space doesn’t work

Apps trim ordinary spaces (U+0020) from the start and end of names and messages, and reject fields that contain nothing else. That check looks for specific whitespace characters. Characters such as the Hangul Filler were created for Korean text processing and the Braille blank for braille displays. Software treats them as letters, so they pass the check while showing nothing.

Zero-width characters go further: they have no width at all. They’re useful as hidden separators, like stopping "example.com" from turning into a link, but many platforms now strip them from names because they were used to fake duplicate usernames.

Questions people ask

How do I send a blank message?

Copy the Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800) or Hangul Filler (U+3164) and send it on its own. Most chat apps block messages that are only normal spaces, but these count as characters.

How do I get an invisible name?

Paste the Hangul Filler (U+3164) into the name field. If the app requires a minimum length, paste it several times. Some games and Discord reject blank names or trim them; there’s no character every app accepts.

How do I add line breaks to my Instagram bio?

Instagram sometimes removes empty lines. Put a Braille blank (U+2800) on the empty line and the break stays.

Is invisible text safe?

Yes, it’s ordinary Unicode. But invisible characters can also hide text from moderation or confuse people, so many platforms limit them. Don’t use them to impersonate anyone.
