Invisible Text
Copy invisible text, also called blank text: characters that look empty but count as text, for a blank name, an empty message or extra space. Tap one to copy it once or several times. Free, with no sign-up.

How to copy invisible text
- 01
Pick how many
Choose × 1 for a single blank, or more for a longer gap. Some name fields need at least 2 or 3 characters.
- 02
Copy a blank
Tap a row or its Copy button. Start with Hangul filler, then try the others if it's refused.
- 03
Paste and check
Paste it where you want the blank. If the app refuses it or shows a box, come back and try the next one.
What invisible text is
Invisible text isn't a font or a trick. It's made of real Unicode characters that have no visible shape. Apps that won't take an empty box or a row of spaces may accept one of these, because to them it's text.
They aren't all the same. Unicode files the Hangul filler as a letter, so a name field that checks for a letter may take it. The Braille blank is an empty Braille cell, the spaces are spaces, and the Zero width space takes up no room at all.
Which blank character to use
Each row in the tool shows the character's name, its Unicode code point and its Unicode category:
| Character | Code point | Kind | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hangul filler | U+3164 | Counts as a letter | Blank names; the usual first try |
| Halfwidth Hangul filler | U+FFA0 | Counts as a letter | A narrower blank when the first is refused |
| Braille blank | U+2800 | Symbol | Blank messages and a backup for names |
| No-break space | U+00A0 | Space | Keeping two words on one line |
| Em space | U+2003 | Space | A wide gap for lining up text |
| Ideographic space | U+3000 | Space | A full-width gap |
| Zero width space | U+200B | No width | Splitting a word without a visible gap |
Blank space you can copy
If you need blank space rather than a blank name, use the spaces in the tool. A No-break space keeps two words together on one line, an Em space gives a wider gap, and an Ideographic space is as wide as one Chinese character. Copy × 3 or × 10 for a longer gap.
An ordinary space from your keyboard often gets removed: many apps trim spaces from the start and end of a name or message, and some squeeze several spaces into one. These are different characters, so an app that trims ordinary spaces may leave them alone, or may remove them too. Paste and check before you rely on it.
Blank names and blank messages
Every app has its own rules for names, and they change. Some trim spaces from the start and end, some ask for a minimum length, and some block these characters on purpose. So treat every blank as something to try: paste it, save, and look at your profile from another account.
Usernames, the @handle in your profile link, almost never take them. Display names and nicknames are where they have a chance; see Discord fonts and TikTok fonts for each app's name rules.
A blank name is hard on people who use screen readers, which read it as nothing or as the character's name. Keep a real name somewhere on your profile.
Check what's hiding in a name
Paste any text into Check a name under the list. It lists the spaces, blanks and invisible format characters it finds, and how many there are, for example 2 × U+3164 HANGUL FILLER. Use it to see whether a blank survived copying, or why a name that looks empty isn't.
Why a blank can show as a box
A blank character only stays invisible if the device has a font for it. When it doesn't, it draws an empty box instead. The spaces show on nearly every device; the fillers and the Braille blank can turn into boxes on older ones.
Invisible text on X
In an X post, characters count by weight: the Hangul fillers, the Braille blank and the Ideographic space count as 2 each; the No-break space, the Em space and the Zero width space count as 1. For more on how X counts, see Twitter fonts.
For styled letters instead of blank ones, see the full list of copy and paste fonts.
Invisible text: frequently asked questions
What is the invisible character?
Usually the Hangul filler, U+3164: a character Unicode files as a letter but that has no visible shape. The tool also has six others for when it doesn't work.
Is blank text the same as invisible text?
Yes. Blank text, invisible text and invisible characters all mean characters that look empty but count as text. The tool lists 7 of them, from the Hangul filler to the Zero width space.
How do I send a blank message?
Copy a blank here, paste it into the message box and send it. If the app won't send it, try the Braille blank or copy × 3.
Why doesn't my blank name work?
The app may trim spaces, require a minimum length or block blank characters. Try another character from the list, or several at once. Usernames almost never accept them.
Why does the blank show as a box?
The device has no font for that character. Try a space, such as the No-break space, which nearly every device can show.
Is invisible text safe to paste?
Yes. It's ordinary Unicode text with no code in it. Nothing you copy here is saved or sent anywhere.
