How to Create an Invisible Username on Discord and Twitter
Posted by TexyTools on November 12, 2023
Have you ever been scrolling through a Discord user list or a Twitter feed and seen someone with no name at all? It's a neat trick that immediately makes you wonder, "How did they do that?"
You can't just type a space—most platforms are too smart for that. The secret is to use a special Unicode character that looks invisible but is recognized by the system as a valid character.
This guide will show you exactly how to do it in seconds.
The Problem: Why Spaces Don't Work
Most websites and apps are programmed to "trim" whitespace. This means they automatically remove any standard space characters from the beginning or end of a username. If your name consists only of spaces, the system sees it as an empty string and gives you an error like "Username cannot be blank."
The Solution: The Invisible Character
To get around this, you need a character that is a character but doesn't look like one. That's where our tool comes in.
The Invisible Text Generator provides a special character (specifically, the Hangul Filler, U+3164
) that is perfect for this.
How to Create Your Invisible Name: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Open the Tool: Go to the Invisible Text Generator.
-
Copy the Character: Click the big "Copy Invisible Character" button. The special character is now on your clipboard. Don't worry that you can't see it—it's there!
-
Go to Your Profile: Navigate to the platform where you want a blank name (this works great on Discord, Twitter/X, Steam, and many online games). Go to your profile settings where you can edit your username or display name.
-
Paste and Save: Delete your current name and paste the invisible character into the text field. It will look like the field is empty, but it's not. Click "Save."
That's it! Your name should now appear as a blank space.
Where Can You Use an Invisible Name?
- Discord: Create a mysterious presence in servers.
- Twitter/X: Have a minimalist profile with no visible display name.
- Gaming: Use a blank name in games like Among Us, PUBG, or Steam to confuse other players.
- Instagram: While harder for usernames, it can sometimes be used in the "Name" field of your bio for a clean look.
Invisible Messages vs. Invisible Names
It's important to know that there are different kinds of "invisible" characters for different purposes.
- For usernames, the character from our Invisible Text Generator is usually best.
- For sending blank messages in chats like Messenger, our Blank Message Generator might work better.
- For sending an empty status on WhatsApp, we have a specially tested character in our Empty WhatsApp Message tool.
Go ahead and give it a try. It's a simple, fun way to make your online profiles stand out from the crowd.
