Invisible Character Detector

Detect hidden Unicode characters in pasted text, including Hangul Filler, Zero Width Space, No-Break Space, and other invisible formatting marks.

Why use an invisible character detector?

Text can look normal while still containing hidden Unicode characters that affect forms, usernames, code, search fields, messaging apps, and HTML output. This tool helps you spot those characters quickly.

If you copied text from a website, chat app, spreadsheet, or editor and something feels off, the issue may be an invisible character rather than visible text.

Invisible Character Detector

Use this interactive detector to check whether pasted text contains hidden Unicode characters such as Hangul Filler, Zero Width Space, No-Break Space, or other invisible formatting marks.

This is useful when copied text looks normal but behaves strangely in forms, usernames, code, chat apps, editors, or HTML.

How to read the result

The detector shows the character name, Unicode code point, how many times it appears, and why it matters. If your text contains a blank-looking character, use the related guide to decide whether to keep it, replace it, or remove it.

For example, Hangul Filler is often useful for blank text copy and paste, while Zero Width Space is more useful for formatting or hidden separators.

Which character is best for blank text?

For most blank-text use cases, Hangul Filler (U+3164) is the best first character to try. For formatting and hidden separators, Zero Width Space is often a better fit.
