What is Invisible Character?

Invisible Character is a simple yet powerful tool designed to insert invisible, non-disruptive characters into your text. These characters can serve a myriad of purposes, from aligning text perfectly to ensuring the integrity of your code. It’s the tool you never knew you needed, but once you use it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Types of Invisible Characters

Invisible or empty characters are non-printing characters used in text formatting and coding. Each type serves a specific purpose. Here are some of the different types of invisible characters:

  1. Space Characters:
    • Regular Space: The most common invisible character, used to separate words and symbols.
    • Non-Breaking Space (NBSP): Prevents automatic line breaks at its position.
    • En Space and Em Space: Spaces that are the width of a lowercase 'n' and an uppercase 'M', respectively, used for special typographic purposes.
  2. Line Break Characters:
    • Line Feed (LF): Moves the cursor down to the next line without returning to the beginning of the line (commonly used in UNIX and macOS systems).
    • Carriage Return (CR): Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line without advancing to the next line (used in older Mac systems).
    • CR+LF Combination: Used in Windows systems, combines CR and LF to start a new line.
  3. Tab Characters:
    • Horizontal Tab (HT): Moves the cursor to the next tab stop.
    • Vertical Tab (VT): Less common, used to advance the cursor to the next vertical tab stop.
  4. Zero Width Characters:
    • Zero Width Space (ZWSP): Allows for line breaks in long words without using hyphens.
    • Zero Width Non-Joiner (ZWNJ): Prevents characters from forming a ligature.
    • Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ): Used to create ligatures when characters are normally separate.
  5. Formatting Characters:
    • Word Joiner: Similar to NBSP but doesn't produce any space.
    • Soft Hyphen (SHY): An invisible hyphen that only appears when a word breaks at the end of a line.
  6. Bidirectional Text Control:
    • Left-To-Right Mark (LRM) and Right-To-Left Mark (RLM): Used in bidirectional text to define how characters are grouped with respect to text direction.
