Behaviour
How invisible character behaves
You cannot see whether this character arrived, so the properties that matter are the ones you can test for.
- Width
- Zero visible width in most fonts, though it is a Hangul filler rather than a space and some fonts give it a small advance.
- Line breaking
- Behaves as a letter, not a space, so text will not wrap at it.
- How software treats it
- Because it counts as a letter it survives the trimming that removes spaces from usernames and channel names, which is the entire reason people use it. Some platforms have since added it to their blocklists for exactly that reason.
- How to check it worked
- Paste it into a field with a character counter and watch the number move, or select across the spot and look for the highlight widening. Both work when there is nothing to see.
