Blank text copy paste
Generate blank text, copy empty space, or paste text to detect and strip hidden zero-width Unicode characters. Choose a character, set the count, generate, and copy locally in your browser.
Definition
Blank text looks empty but contains real Unicode characters. They occupy a real position in a string, pass non-empty field validation, and render as invisible or whitespace-like in most apps.
Blank text uses Unicode characters like U+2800 or U+200B. They are not regular spaces (U+0020) and behave differently in search, databases, and platform validation. An empty character passes tests that reject a normal space.
The terms invisible character, blank character, and empty character describe the same family of Unicode code points. This generator focuses on three of the most practical ones for copy-paste use: U+2800, U+200B, and U+3164.
Use blank text when a field requires input but you want it to look empty — usernames, display names, bios, messages, or form fields where a visible space would be rejected or trimmed.
All generation and detection runs in your browser. No text you type or paste is sent to any server.
Comparison
Each blank Unicode character behaves differently across platforms. Compare width, best use, failure mode, and copy option before pasting it into a live field.
| Character | Unicode | Takes visible width | Best for | Fails when | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Braille Pattern Blank | U+2800 |
Yes | Messages and visible spacing | May be filtered by platform | |
| Zero Width Space | U+200B |
No | Separators and formatting | May be normalized away | |
| Hangul Filler | U+3164 |
Usually | Names and blank fields | May be blocked in some apps | |
| Word Joiner | U+2060 |
No | Preventing line breaks inside technical text | May break search or copied-code matching | |
| Zero Width No-Break Space / BOM | U+FEFF |
No | Detecting pasted file or CMS cleanup issues | Unsafe for intentional hiding; may break imports or search | |
| Left-to-Right Mark | U+200E |
No | Fallback tests in left-to-right app fields | May change bidirectional text behavior | |
| Zero Width Non-Joiner | U+200C |
No | Stopping script joining where that behavior is intended | May change multilingual text rendering | |
| Zero Width Joiner | U+200D |
No | Joining emoji or script sequences | May change emoji or character shaping |
No blank character works on every platform. Always test before using in production. For regex, search, and CMS cleanup notes, read the developer cleanup reference.

How it works
The steps below match the generator at the top of this page exactly.
Whether you searched for blank text, empty text, a blank character, or an empty character, the task is the same: choose a Unicode option, generate the amount you need, then copy blank text and test the pasted result.
Pick U+2800, U+200B, U+3164, or U+200E. Start with U+2800 for most use cases.
Type any whole number between 1 and 1000, or click a quick-count button.
Click Generate Blank Text. The result appears in the output field on the right.
Click Copy Blank Text, then paste into any field. If the platform removes it, switch character type and try again.
Paste your result into the Test Your Blank Text section below to confirm the character type and count.
Use cases
Blank text and empty text work in a wide range of apps. Platform-specific steps are on the dedicated tool pages.
Use blank text to test a message that looks empty. Reported options include U+2800 and U+3164, but this page does not verify current WhatsApp acceptance.

Troubleshooting
If the blank character disappears or shows as a box, use this table to find the cause and what to try next.
| Problem | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Blank text disappears after saving | Platform strips or normalizes the character | Try U+2800 or U+3164 instead |
| A square or box appears | Font does not support that code point | Try U+200B — it has no glyph to render |
| Field still shows as empty when saved | Platform actively detects invisible characters | Use the dedicated platform tool for tested characters |
| Spacing is wider than expected | You chose a visible-width character and repeated it many times | Switch to U+200B which has zero width |
| Copied count does not match what was generated | Ordinary spaces or newlines were mixed into the clipboard | Use the analyzer above to check the character breakdown |
FAQ
Blank text looks empty but contains real Unicode characters. They occupy a position in a text string and render as invisible or empty-looking in most apps and websites. Common examples are U+2800 (Braille Pattern Blank) and U+200B (Zero Width Space).
Choose a character type in the generator, enter the number you need, click Generate, then click Copy Blank Text. Paste the result into any field. If the platform removes it, try a different character type.
The terms are often used interchangeably. Technically, empty text is a string with zero characters, while blank text here refers to Unicode characters that look empty but are not. Platforms may accept blank text where they would reject a truly empty field.
A blank character is a Unicode code point that renders as invisible or has no visible glyph in most fonts and apps. Common examples include U+2800, U+200B, and U+3164. They are real characters that occupy a text position.
The most practical choices are U+2800 (Braille Pattern Blank, visible width), U+200B (Zero Width Space, zero width), and U+3164 (Hangul Filler, usually visible). Try U+2800 first and switch if the platform removes it.
Platforms may strip or normalize Unicode characters, especially at the start and end of a field. Try pasting blank text in the middle of other content, or switch to a different character. Which option survives is unknown until the target field accepts and saves it.
Yes. Use the count input to set any number from 1 to 1000, then click Generate. You can also use the quick-count buttons (1, 3, 10, 50, 100) to set common amounts instantly.
Yes. This generator works in mobile browsers without any app or installation. Generate and copy the text, then paste into any mobile app field. Results vary by platform and OS version, so try a different character if the first one is removed.
