Invisible Text Copy & Paste Tool with Platform-Specific Blank Characters
Our free invisible text tool lets you copy any number of special blank space “unicode” characters. Whether it be for a specific username or messaging app, we have identified the empty character that has the best chance of working for you.
Invisible characters look like empty spaces, but they’re actually special Unicode symbols. You can’t see them, but computers and apps still recognize them as real text. They’re often used to trick platforms into accepting “blank” names, send empty messages, or add hidden spacing. It’s like typing something that’s there but completely invisible to the human eye.

How are Invisible Characters Used?
These characters can be used to create unique usernames, send “empty” messages on messaging platforms or for testing software.
Usernames & Display Names
People use invisible characters to create completely blank profile names or to bypass "name already taken" restrictions. This is popular on platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord, and Roblox.
Empty Messages / Chat Pranks
Users send totally blank chat bubbles in iMessage, Android SMS, WhatsApp, and Discord for fun or to keep streaks going.
Creative Spacing & Formatting
Invisible characters are often used to insert precise spacing in bios, stories, or captions, especially on Instagram and TikTok.
Bypassing Filters or Minimum Length Rules
These characters can bypass input restrictions in forms that require text or block certain characters.
QA Testing & Bug Discovery
Software testers use invisible characters to uncover encoding or trimming issues in applications. They help reveal how an app handles non-printing Unicode.

Each platform has different requirements and filters; what works today may not work in the future. We provide a complete list of Invisible Characters so that if one doesn’t work, you can try another.
Every subsection supplies a quick platform overview (why people care, any famous meme/story) followed by at-a-glance use-cases with the exact Unicode you should copy. Reference links are included for fact-checking or deeper reading.
TikTok
TikTok users chased the viral “blank profile” trend during 2021–22; the Object Replacement Character seems to be the best option for TikTok.
Notes: Paste once for an empty comment; pad hashtags invisibly by repeating twice.
Instagram
Creators use invisible text for empty bios, secret line-breaks, and the legendary “nameless” Among Us profile screenshot that went viral on IG Stories in 2020.
Use-Case 1 – Blank Display Name / Bio Line
Code: U+3164 (Hangul Filler “ㅤ”)
Comments: Accepted in the Name & Bio fields; if trimmed, add a second copy.
Use-Case 2 – Aesthetic Story Spacing
Code: U+200A (Hair Space)
Comments: Insert multiple Hair Spaces to create precise kerning or blank slides.
WhatsApp
Overview - Blank messages are a classic prank; thousands of YouTube shorts show the “send empty chat bubble” trick.
Use-Case 1 – Empty Chat Bubble
Code: U+3164 (Hangul Filler “ㅤ”)
Comments: Works on Android & iOS; add 3× for older devices if single char fails.
Use-Case 2 – Invisible Profile Name
Code: U+3164 (Hangul Filler “ㅤ”)
Comments: Paste once in Name → Save. Contacts will see a blank sender.
Discord
Overview – Gamers hide from @mentions with zero-width tricks; a famous 2019 screenshot showed a totally un-clickable blank DM name (see photo below).
Use-Case 1 – Invisible Server Nickname (not always working)
Overview – Users periodically share “How to get a blank display name in 30 sec” threads; the Arabic combining mark is the current winner after earlier fillers were patched. Copy Paste Dump
Use-Case 1 – Invisible Display Name
Code: U+064B (Arabic Fathatan)
Comments: Copy once; hit Save. If blocked, try double-pasting.
Use-Case 2 – Blank Tweet
Code: U+FE0F (Variation Selector-16) + normal space
Comments: Paste VS16, add one space, post—tweet looks empty in feeds.
Roblox (and Other Games: Fortnite, Free Fire, Steam)
Overview – “Ghost player” display names exploded on YouTube tutorials; dev-forum threads track every new Unicode patch.
Use-Case 1 – Blank Display Name
Code: U+3164 (Hangul Filler) or U+FFA0 (Half-width Filler)
Comments: Roblox may flag U+3164—try the half-width variant as backup.
Use-Case 2 – Invisible Game Title Easter Egg
Code: U+2800 repeat × 20 for title padding
Comments: Creates a “secret” game only accessible via direct link.
Texting (iPhone and Android)
Overview - Native texting apps (Apple iMessage on iPhone, Google Messages / Samsung Messages on Android) block plain spaces, so you cannot press “Send” on an empty bubble. So you need to paste a non-printing Unicode character. TikTok compilations of “send a blank text to your crush” still circulate, and Apple’s own Messages app doesn’t flag the trick.
Use-Case - Send a Blank Text
Code: U+2800 (Braille Pattern Blank)
Comments: Paste once → Send. Shows a completely blank bubble on both platforms. If iOS17 auto-collapses it, paste twice.
Alternatively, you can use the “Invisible Ink” Feature on iPhones
