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.

What are Invisible Characters?

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.

Suggested Tool - Invisible Text Detector & Remover Tool

If you’re trying to remove hidden characters from your text (not just copy them), we also offer a Free Invisible Text Detector & Remover Tool.

 It helps you:

  • Detect invisible Unicode characters in any text

  • Remove problematic or unnecessary ones

  • Fix formatting issues caused by copy-pasted LLM content (like Em Dashes or ZWSPs)

Perfect for editors, coders, and anyone debugging odd text formatting.

How are Invisible Characters Used?

These characters can be used to create unique usernames, send “empty” messages on messaging platforms or for testing software. 

How are Invisible Characters Used?
  • 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.

Specific Platform - Platforms are Always Changing

TikTok

TikTok users chased the viral “blank profile” trend during 2021–22; the Object Replacement Character seems to be the best option for TikTok.

  • Use-Case 1 - Invisible Display Name

    • Recommended code: U+FFFC (Object Replacement Character)
    • Reference: Reddit success thread Reddit
    • Notes: Works in the “Name” field; often blocked in “Username.”

  • Use-Case 2 - Blank Comment / Caption Spacer

    • Recommended code: U+200B (Zero-Width Space)
      Reference: Generic ZWSP resource Unicode Explorer
    • 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.

    • Code: U+200B (Zero-Width Space)

Twitter / X

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
