How to use Invisible Character Remover

Paste text that may contain hidden characters, and the tool strips zero-width spaces, BOM markers, and other invisible characters, returning clean text.

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.
