Paste something above to inspect its characters.
What counts as an invisible character?
Some Unicode characters produce little or no visible ink but still count as characters. For example, U+2800 Braille Pattern Blank can appear as a blank cell, while U+200B Zero Width Space takes no visual width. They are not the same thing and may behave differently when a website filters text.
Use the code labels above to choose the actual character you need. The copy counter shows how many characters are in your output, and the paste inspector shows their code points. Nothing you paste into the inspector is uploaded to Cursiply.
Invisible characters are sometimes blocked in usernames, forms and messages. They may be stripped, replaced or interpreted differently depending on the app. Do not depend on them for security, identity verification, or hiding information.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the pasted field look empty?
An invisible character can be present even when you do not see it. Paste into our test area to display its code point.
Is U+2800 an ordinary space?
No. It is a Braille Pattern Blank, distinct from a normal space character U+0020.
Will these characters work in every social media app?
No. Some platforms remove, restrict or normalize invisible characters. Test your selected character first.
Does the tool save my pasted text?
No. The character selector, generator and inspector run locally in your browser.
