Copy blank space, empty space or invisible text instantly. Tap the button, paste it wherever you need it - the character below is invisible but still counts as text, so apps that reject an empty field will accept it.
There are eighteen different blank characters in Unicode and they are not interchangeable. The one you need depends on whether you want something invisible, something of an exact width, or something that will not be removed.
| If you need | Copy this | Because |
|---|---|---|
| Blank text for a message, comment or username | Hangul Filler (U+3164) | Classified as a letter, so trimming leaves it alone |
| An ordinary space between words | Space (U+0020) | The standard separator, but it gets trimmed and collapsed |
| Spacing that never breaks across a line | No-Break Space (U+00A0) | Keeps words together and does not collapse in HTML |
| A gap of an exact, predictable width | EM Space or EN Space | Fixed at one em and half an em regardless of font |
| Zero width with a line-break opportunity | Zero Width Space (U+200B) | No width at all, but many platforms strip it |
| Numbers aligned in a column | Figure Space (U+2007) | Exactly as wide as a digit |
These sound like the same thing, and the difference is the single most useful thing to understand about this topic.
A blank space is whitespace. Unicode puts it in the category Zs, software treats it as a separator, and that means it can be trimmed from the ends of a value, collapsed when several appear in a row, and stretched when text is justified. Anything in this category is at risk of being removed.
An invisible character renders as nothing but is not whitespace. Hangul Filler is a letter; Zero Width Space is a format character. Neither is touched by whitespace trimming, which is exactly why they work in fields that reject spaces - and why Hangul Filler in particular is the character behind nearly every blank text trick.
Use this interactive widget to choose where you want to use blank text. Different apps, forms, and editors handle invisible characters differently, so this picker recommends the best first character and sensible fallback options.
Start with the recommended character below, test it in your target app or field, and then try the fallback options if the first one is trimmed, rejected, or normalized.
Different apps prefer different Unicode characters. Start with these combinations.
Best first choice: Hangul Filler (U+3164). Alternatives: Zero Width Space and No-Break Space.
Best first choice: Hangul Filler. Alternative for tighter formatting: Zero Width Space.
Start with Hangul Filler. If the game rejects it, try Space or No-Break Space.
Use No-Break Space for preventing line breaks, EN Space and EM Space for wider spacing, and Thin Space or Hair Space for finer adjustments. For code-ready values and conversion, see HTML Space Characters.
Tap the copy button on this page and paste wherever you need it. Your clipboard will look empty, which is expected - the character is blank. Nothing else is required, and it works on phones and desktop alike.
Because the app trimmed it. Almost every input field strips leading and trailing whitespace before saving, so a value made only of regular spaces is stored as an empty string. Use Hangul Filler instead - Unicode classifies it as a letter, so it is not stripped.
For blank text in apps, Hangul Filler (U+3164). For a normal visible space, the regular space (U+0020). For typography where the width must be exact, a fixed-width space such as EN Space or EM Space. For spacing that must never break across a line, No-Break Space.
A blank space is whitespace - it has width, and software treats it as a separator that can be trimmed or collapsed. An invisible character renders as nothing but is classified as a letter or a format character, so it survives validation that removes spaces.
Use the blank text generator on the home page, which lets you choose how many invisible characters to produce and copies them in one go. This is more reliable than pressing the space bar repeatedly, because consecutive regular spaces collapse in HTML.
Yes. Copy and paste behaves the same on Android and iPhone. The one thing to watch is third-party keyboard apps, some of which normalise the clipboard and quietly drop invisible characters.
