Empty Character

What Is a Whitespace Character?

A whitespace character is a character that creates an invisible area between two words in text. This character is used for necessary formatting during text processing and is also called an "invisible character." Whitespace characters are a crucial element of all writing - your text won't be legible without them!

The most common way to make whitespace characters is a method you have probably done countless times: by using the "Space" key on the keyboard. However, in certain specific cases, this does not work.

This is where the invisible text generator comes in useful. The invisible characters in this tool are Unicode characters that represent blank spaces. You can use these empty characters in the way you would use a normal letter or character, through a copy-and-paste technique.

How to Send Empty Messages

It is easy to send blank spaces using the invisible text generator. You can either copy the empty character manually or click the "Copy" button below the boxes above to copy these invisible characters. The second method is probably easier than the first method.

How to copy and paste invisible text on WhatsApp

1. Select one of the invisible space characters from the boxes mentioned above. These characters represent spaces of different lengths, so you can customise your messages according to the length of the blank text.
2. Click the "Copy" button below your selected box to copy the invisible character.
3. Paste the copied invisible character into the message box in WhatsApp. The invisible text generator allows users to copy and paste blank characters anywhere online.

Why Use the Invisible Text Generator?

You may find yourself wondering, why bother with this tool? After all, the space key is there and easy to use.

Well, in messaging applications like WhatsApp and Telegram, it is not possible to send a regular space character directly as a message. You can use space characters only as part of a message that has other alphabets or numbers.

If you want to use space characters by themselves to send a blank message on these platforms, you need to use a character from the Unicode character set, where each character is assigned a number value. These Unicode characters are what this tool is based on. They are characters that look like spaces, and they can be used to send empty messages on platforms like WhatsApp.

What Different Empty Characters Can I Copy Manually?

This blank space tool offers different kinds of empty characters. They differ in length. For example, you can choose to copy a thin space if you want a narrow blank space. Or, for a blank character the length of a number, choose a figure space. The space lengths can also match up with the length of different dashes. So, an en space would be a blank character the length of an en dash.

Note that the empty spaces of different lengths have different Unicode values. While the space character has the Unicode value u 0020, the hair space character (an empty space that is thinner than a regular space) has the Unicode value u 200a. As the Unicode standard is widely recognised, the empty characters will look the same even on different screens or devices.

How To Use Empty Text?

One way to use these invisible characters is to send blank messages to your friends. It is a great prank that will have them wondering what you are trying to say.

Blank characters are not only used for sending empty messages but also for text formatting and creating fancy text. Especially on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, you can personalise your usernames by copying and pasting spaces of different lengths. It will make your account or profile name stand out in a unique way.

Invisible text can be used for creating unique usernames in gaming applications, especially those that do not recognise spacebar generated empty characters in the username.

What Does Sending Invisible Characters Mean?

When you send a message with an empty space, the recipient will get a message that looks that it has no characters. This blank message can be used to grab attention or give a silent response during a disagreement. Sending such messages out of the blue can also be fun. It will simply be a surprising and fun message.

Empty spaces are also a part of invisible text, which is used to maintain privacy and keep identities anonymous in online gaming and social platforms. If done carefully, using invisible text can create a unique visual effect in messages and usernames on platforms like Instagram and X.
