Invisible Text — Copy & Paste Hidden Text

Practical invisible text

Copy blank-looking Unicode text samples

Use fixed, safe samples for messages, bios, captions, and formatting tests. This is copyable Unicode text, not secret or encrypted text.

Recommended:Use Hangul Filler for a visible blank-looking sample; use Zero Width Space for a no-width test.

Best choices

Choose a character or preset to copy and test.

Zero Width Space

U+200B
A​B
Behavior
Zero-width
Use
Adds a real Unicode character without creating visible horizontal width.
Note
Good for testing, but some fields trim or normalize it.

No-Break Space

U+00A0
A B
Behavior
Visible spacing
Use
Creates a space that keeps neighboring text together in many contexts.
Note
May be converted to a normal space by some apps.

Zero Width No-Break Space

U+FEFF
Special format character
AB
Behavior
Zero-width
Use
Useful for compatibility testing, not a first-choice blank message character.
Note
Also known as BOM in some contexts; apps may remove it.

What Is Invisible Text?

Invisible text is usually a Unicode character that looks blank on screen while still counting as text. Some characters have no visible width, such as Zero Width Space (U+200B). Others look like an empty area, such as Hangul Filler (U+3164) or Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800).

That difference matters when you paste the character into an app. A zero-width character may be best for subtle separators or compatibility testing, while a blank-looking character with width may be better for spacing, captions, bios, or message-field tests.

Best Invisible Character for Common Uses

  • Zero Width Space (U+200B): Start here when you need text that usually has no visible width.
  • Hangul Filler (U+3164): Useful for username, display-name, and blank-looking field tests where supported.
  • Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800): Useful when you want a blank-looking character that occupies visible space.
  • No-Break Space and wider spaces: Better for formatting, line spacing, captions, and layout tests.

How to Copy and Test Invisible Text

  • ✦ Choose a character from the grid above.
  • ✦ Click Copy on that character card.
  • ✦ Paste it into the Test Box first. If the count increases while the box looks blank, the character copied correctly.
  • ✦ Paste it into your target app and check the result before relying on it.

Invisible Text vs Blank Text vs Empty Text

Invisible text is the broad idea: Unicode characters that may not show a visible mark. Blank text usually means text that looks empty but still contains one or more characters. Empty text can also mean a field with no characters at all, which is different from pasting a blank-looking Unicode character.

For related uses, compare the invisible character guide, the blank text tool, and the invisible text generator.

Compatibility and Responsible Use

Platform support can change. Some apps preserve invisible Unicode characters, while others normalize, trim, block, or show them as a square box. Always follow the rules of the app, website, game, or community where you paste them.

Use invisible text for formatting, spacing, aesthetic bios, blank-looking messages, usernames, captions, Unicode testing, and layout checking. Do not use it for spam, impersonation, harassment, evasion, or misleading behavior. Invisible characters are not a security tool.

FAQ

What is invisible text?
Invisible text is a Unicode character or sequence that looks blank while still being recognized as text. Common examples include Zero Width Space, Hangul Filler, and Braille Pattern Blank.
How do I know invisible text copied correctly?
Paste it into the Test Box on this page. If the character count increases while the box still looks blank, the invisible character is present.
Which invisible character should I try first?
Start with Zero Width Space for no-width text. Try Hangul Filler or Braille Pattern Blank when you need a blank-looking character that may occupy space.
Why did my invisible text disappear after pasting?
Some apps trim, normalize, block, or remove invisible Unicode characters. Platform support can change, so test the exact field where you plan to use it.
Is invisible text safe to use?
Invisible characters are standard Unicode text. Use them for formatting and compatibility testing, follow platform rules, and do not use them for spam, impersonation, harassment, evasion, misleading behavior, or sensitive information.
