Invisible Character Generator

A Unicode code point that renders with no visible glyph (U+200B zero width space, U+3164 Hangul filler). Some systems still allocate tiny space or render a placeholder.

Most platforms reject spaces but accept U+3164 Hangul Filler. Pick it, generate one or two copies, paste into the username field. Many apps now detect and block this.

Valid Unicode and harmless in most cases, but can be flagged as homoglyph/phishing in URLs, code, or identifiers. Use the Detect tab to scan suspicious text.

Both are invisible Unicode code points, but they do opposite things. A Zero Width Space (U+200B) marks a spot where a long word is allowed to wrap onto a new line without showing an actual gap, which is handy for breaking unbroken strings like URLs. A Zero Width Joiner (U+200D) does the reverse: it tells the renderer to fuse adjacent characters together, and it is the glue that stitches emoji sequences such as family or flag glyphs into a single picture. So one permits a break and the other prevents separation. Both occupy a real position in the string and count toward its length even though you see nothing. This tool lets you generate, insert, or detect either character and shows its hex, decimal, UTF-8, and UTF-16 encodings so you can match the exact code point you need.

Switch to the Detect tab and paste the text you want to check. The tool scans the string, highlights each hidden character inline where it sits, lists its exact position and Unicode code point, and tells you the total count it found. This is the fastest way to diagnose strings that misbehave for no visible reason: a password that refuses to match, a config value that fails validation, or a username that looks normal but gets rejected. Because zero-width characters take up a slot and count toward length while showing no glyph, they are easy to copy by accident and impossible to spot by eye. Treat any unexpected invisible character inside an identifier, URL, or block of source code as a red flag worth removing. Everything runs locally, so even a private snippet stays on your device while you scan it.

Rendering of zero-width and filler characters is inconsistent across apps, fonts, and operating systems. A code point like the Hangul Filler (U+3164) or Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800) is technically a real glyph or a default-ignorable character, so one platform may draw nothing, another may reserve a tiny space, and a third may fall back to a visible box or replacement square when its font has no entry for it. Some chat apps, forms, and games also strip these characters out or reject them outright as a spam-prevention measure. That is why an empty-username trick that worked yesterday can fail today. The practical takeaway is to always test the character in the actual app before relying on it for a real account or message. Use the Generate tab here to produce a run of the character and preview how it behaves before you commit.

Open the Insert tab and type or paste your visible text, then choose where the hidden character should go: at every space, between every letter, or after each word. The tool threads your selected invisible character into those positions and reports the new total length along with how many hidden characters it added, so you can confirm the change took effect. Inserting between letters is sometimes used to defeat naive text matching or to space out characters without adding visible gaps, while inserting at spaces or after words can control line-break behavior. Keep in mind that many systems normalize or strip these characters, and detectors can flag text that is padded this way, so the result is not guaranteed to survive every platform. The encodings panel shows the exact code point you are inserting in case you need to reference it elsewhere.

The byte order mark is the Zero Width No-Break Space (U+FEFF) placed at the very start of a text file to signal its encoding and byte ordering. In UTF-16 it tells a reader whether bytes are big-endian or little-endian; in UTF-8 it acts as a signature that the file is Unicode. The catch is that a stray BOM in the middle of content, or an unwanted one at the start of a file meant to be plain, can break parsers, JSON loaders, or shell scripts with cryptic errors, because it is invisible yet still a real character. If a file or string fails to validate for no obvious reason, a leftover U+FEFF is a common culprit. Paste the text into the Detect tab here to reveal whether a BOM or other hidden character is lurking, then remove it.
