Invisible character for Discord

Pick a character, copy it, and paste it where you want a blank: your display name, a server nickname, a message, or a bot's embed.

Tom set his display name to the blank character: no name shows next to his picture

The copied character looks like nothing, but it is there: paste it into the name box or the message box.

Where to paste it

Discord removes normal spaces, so a name or message made of spaces counts as empty. These characters take up a place without drawing anything.

  • Blank display name

    Open User Settings, then My Account, and press Edit next to Display Name. Delete the name, paste the Hangul Filler, and save. Your messages then show with no name next to your picture.

  • Blank server nickname

    In the server, open your profile (or the server menu) and pick Edit Server Profile. Paste the character into Nickname and save. Only that server sees the blank name.

  • Empty looking message

    Paste the Braille Pattern Blank into the message box and send. Several of them on separate lines make a tall blank gap, handy for spacing out a rules channel.

  • Blank embed field

    Bots can leave an embed field's name or value empty with the zero width space. Use it to put a gap between fields or to show a value with no heading.

Blank fields in your own bot's embeds

With BotGhost, the no-code Discord bot maker, you lay out embeds in the embed builder. Paste the zero width space into a field's name to line values up in columns without headings.

How do I get an invisible name on Discord?
Copy the Hangul Filler from this page, open User Settings, My Account, Display Name, delete your name, paste, and save. If Discord says the name can't be empty, try the Braille Pattern Blank instead.
Why does Discord say my name is empty?
Discord removes ordinary spaces, and it sometimes rejects one invisible character while accepting another. Copy the character again with the copy button (selecting it by hand often misses it) or try the next one in the list.
Can I make my @username invisible?
No. The @username only takes letters, numbers, full stops, and underscores. You can blank your display name and your nickname in each server, which is what people see next to your messages.
How do I send a blank message on Discord?
Paste the Braille Pattern Blank and send it. A message of normal spaces or the zero width space alone is refused as empty.
Is it against the rules to have an invisible name?
Discord allows it, but a server can ask for readable nicknames, and moderators can change your nickname in their server.
Why do I see a box instead of a blank?
Your device's font has no shape for that character and draws a box in its place. Others may still see a blank. Try another character from the list.
