How to use Invisible character copier
Invisible Character Copier gives you a zero-width space, Unicode U+200B, ready to copy. The output names the character and shows its code point so you can confirm what you copied, and no input is needed. Support varies between apps, and invisible characters can interfere with searching, accessibility and identifiers.
- Paste the source into the input editor, or load the built-in example.

Frequently asked questions
Which invisible character does this tool copy?
It copies U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE, a character with no visible width. It is a single code point that takes 3 bytes in UTF-8, and the output lists its name and code point next to the copy control.
Can I use a zero-width space to send a blank message or leave a name empty?
Some apps accept it as non-empty text, but others strip or reject zero-width characters, so results vary. Test it in the target app before relying on it.
Why can invisible characters cause problems?
Because they cannot be seen, a zero-width space inside a word or identifier can make two strings that look identical compare as different, break searches and confuse screen readers. Remove it from data where it does not belong.
