![]() So, the most useful thing is an invisible space, aka an "empty string". All that remains is to send empty messages like these: Blank Character Copy Paste It is extremely difficult to create a large empty text now (although it is still possible), but the invisible emojis and the empty set sign that broke many fonts are also fixed now. There are services like, which allow you to change the text, but they do not turn it upside down, but pick up similar letters in other languages. In addition to &nsbp, social networks and messengers have cut all control and special characters – you can not turn the text upside down or display it backwards if it is not initially provided by the language. Now you can't do this – the site processes the data output correctly, and such an inscription no longer breaks the string: Earlier (in 2012), a trick was popular in “Vkontakte” – it was possible to insert a newline control character into the status, and the status was divided into 2 lines. To begin with, we will inform you of the sad news: even these encoding bugs are gradually being fixed. You may have already guessed how the invisible area as a full–fledged sign can be used - to insert a space where it is not provided. The point is that the sign should be special and should be displayed as a very small whitespace, but the encoding perceives it as a full–fledged character (like a letter or a number) and displays it as a large space. The most interesting group of bugs for us is the invisible character. It's all about the bugs of Unicode: some special (control and whitespace) characters do not behave as intended. That's enough background – now it's time to find out where the invisible character comes from. A universal UTF encoding was invented for Unicode to make it easier for designers to draw fonts (yes, for each separate encoding, designers need to draw a separate font). At the moment about 100,000 characters have been added to Unicode – so, another 90% of cells are available. Unicode can contain more than 1,000,000 characters. Since it was terribly inconvenient because of localization into several languages, a new character table, Unicode, was invented and standardized. If we take the encoding that was common in the CIS at that time, then there will be an instruction in it: "To get the letter "г" use 8x3 in ASCII" if we take the encoding that was used in Germany at that time, then it will be written: "To get the letter "β" use 8x3". They are needed in order to read characters "correctly". Encodings appeared because of regional standards. There is also an encoding – a set of instructions for decrypting this table. The table itself is like a reference information. This list is called the character code table, and the first code table is recognized was ASCII: We also give unique numbers to capital letters, signs (dot, comma, question mark and so on), whitespace and numbers – a list looms a unique identifier which is assigned to each possible character. To work with these letters without any problems, we have come up with a very simple scheme – we take the letters in order and give them unique numbers: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and so on. This is not convenient for people, because we are still more used to letters that are formed into words, sentences, paragraphs, and so on. Any computer at the hardware level understands 2 characters: 0 and 1. Let's start the explanation with tables of characters and encodings. If you want a more detailed answer, below we will tell you where the invisible text comes from, how to get and use it, why you should not use it in the code and what other characters there are. You can copy it from the brackets and use: "ㅤㅤㅤ". Where is the magic here? If you want a short answer – they insert the "broken" character u+3164. At the same time, you could see that other people literally send you an empty space, and they succeed. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.If you have ever tried to send an empty message in Telegram, then you most likely found out that neither the space sign nor the newline sign (Alt + Enter) are sent - the input field is simply cleared. ![]() And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. Facebook’s features the easter egg of a table with first names and numbers, perhaps as birthdates:Īpple’s design also features an easter egg, addressed Dear Katie and signed Take care from John Appleseed with the text of its 1997–2002 Crazy Ones/ Think Different ad campaign: Many platforms indicate text with dark lines. Commonly used for content concerning various types of documents and writing, especially in sports.
