Invisible TextCopy and Paste ␣

Copy a blank-looking character with one click, then paste it into the tester to check what is there. The visible ␣ marker and brackets help you see the space; they are not included in your copy.

Copy a Blank Character

Four different characters, four different behaviors. Copy one, then try it below.

No-Break Space

U+00A0

Keep words together

A space that prevents a line break at that position. Useful between a number and its unit.

In context: 10 km

Thin Space

U+2009

A smaller gap

A narrow space for subtle separation. Its exact width depends on the font.

In context: a b

Zero Width Space

U+200B

No visible width

A zero-width character that can mark a line-break opportunity. It does not create a visible gap.

In context: a​b

Hangul Filler

U+3164

Blank-looking letter

A Hangul compatibility character, not an ordinary space. Often drawn blank; apps may reject or normalize it.

In context: aㅤb

Test Your Pasted Text

    Choose the Right Kind of Blank

    A blank appearance does not mean the characters are equivalent.

    Spacing and line breaks

    No-Break Space joins text across a potential line break. Thin Space adds a smaller gap. Zero Width Space can offer a break without adding visible width. A blank username is a different task and depends on the receiving app.

    Verify the destination

    The tester shows the text pasted here. Another app may remove, normalize or reject it. If possible, copy your text back from that app and inspect it again. A successful copy here does not prove acceptance elsewhere.

    Find your saved blank

    Open the shared bottom history bar after copying. Blank-only items show a visible marker, a count and their codes so you can recognize them. Copying the item still copies its original characters.

    Character references: Latin-1 Supplement, General Punctuation and Hangul Compatibility Jamo. Sample widths depend on your font. The pale highlight marks the character’s position.

    FAQ

    Invisible Text FAQ

    How do I copy invisible text?

    Choose one of the four character cards and click Copy. Only that character is copied, without the visible brackets or sample letters. Paste into the tester below to see its code point.

    Which invisible character should I use?

    For a gap that keeps words together, try No-Break Space. For a narrow gap, try Thin Space. Zero Width Space has no visible width. Hangul Filler is a blank-looking letter. Choose by the text behavior you need rather than assuming they are interchangeable.

    Will this make a blank username or Instagram highlight name?

    It is not guaranteed. Each service decides which characters a name field accepts and may remove or normalize blank characters. Test in the destination and use a visible name if a blank one is rejected.

    Why does the tester show a character when the box looks empty?

    A blank-looking character still has a Unicode code point. The tester counts code points and labels the four blanks offered here. Emoji combinations may contain several code points even when they look like one symbol.

    Is the text I paste into the tester saved?

    The tester runs in this page. It does not save your input or read your clipboard automatically. Characters you explicitly copy with the cards are saved in the shared local history, just like other symbols.
