Frequently asked questions

Why does my text contain invisible characters?

Text copied from PDFs, Word documents, web pages, or AI chatbots often includes hidden characters like zero-width spaces (U+200B), byte-order marks (U+FEFF), or non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) that break search, code, and formatting.

What characters does this remove?

Zero-width space/joiner (U+200B–U+200D), BOM/zero-width no-break space (U+FEFF), word joiner (U+2060), soft hyphen (U+00AD), Mongolian vowel separator (U+180E), and other Unicode format (Cf) characters. Non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) are converted to normal spaces.

Will it change my visible text?

No — only invisible and problematic characters are removed. Visible letters, numbers, punctuation, and normal spacing are preserved.
