Quick copy

Counts as a letter but draws nothing. The kind most often accepted where a field refuses an empty name.

Paste text to see the invisible characters it has.

What people use it for
  • A blank nickname in a game or a group, where the name field cannot be left empty.
  • An empty message or a message that starts with blank lines.
  • Line breaks and space in a bio or caption that the app would otherwise squeeze.
  • Spacing a name so it sits in the centre, or keeping two words on the same line.

A screen reader reads a blank name as nothing, or by the name of the symbol, so people who use one may not know who you are. Keep your real name somewhere on the profile.

How to use it

  1. Pick a character. The Hangul filler is the one most often accepted for blank names.
  2. Choose how many you need, from 1 to 500.
  3. Tap Copy and paste it where you want the blank.
  4. If the app refuses it, test another character, starting with the braille blank.
  5. To clean a text, paste it in the test box and copy it back without the hidden characters.

Examples

  • Blank nickname

    One Hangul filler (U+3164) in the name field of a game or group chat, where a normal space is rejected.

  • Space between lines in a bio

    A braille blank (U+2800) alone on a line keeps the empty line when the app would remove it.

  • Text copied from a website

    Paste it in the test box: zero width spaces and no-break spaces show up, and you copy the clean version.

Questions

What is an invisible character?

A Unicode character that takes space but draws nothing, or takes no space at all. Some are spaces of special widths, others are letters of the Korean or braille blocks that are drawn empty.

Which one works for a blank name?

The Hangul filler (U+3164) is the one most often accepted, followed by the braille blank (U+2800). Apps and games change their filters without notice, so test in the box first and try the next one if it fails.

Why did the app remove my blank?

Many apps trim spaces and zero width characters when you save. A blank letter, like the Hangul filler, is less often trimmed because the app counts it as a letter.

Can I send an empty message on WhatsApp?

People often send one or more blank letters as the message. Whether it goes through depends on the app version. VISU is not affiliated with WhatsApp.

How do I find invisible characters in a text?

Paste the text in the test box. Each hidden character is shown with its name and code, and you can copy the text without them.

Is it bad for accessibility?

A screen reader reads a blank name as nothing or reads the symbol name. Use it for spacing, and keep your real name visible somewhere on the profile.

Is anything sent to VISU?

No. The characters are made in your browser and the test box never leaves the page.
