Having a blank or invisible name in Free Fire, PUBG Mobile, or other mobile games is one of those things that immediately makes your profile stand out. When your name appears as nothing in the lobby, on the scoreboard, or in the kill feed, it creates a dramatic effect that surprises other players and makes your account look uniquely styled. Getting this to work requires a specific Unicode character, and this guide tells you exactly which one to use and how to apply it.
Copy the Blank Space Character Right Now
The character you need is inside the box below. Select everything inside it and copy it to your clipboard.
This is the Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800). It is invisible but it is there. Select the box content, copy it, and paste it into your game name field.
You can paste this character multiple times to fill the name field completely. Most games require a minimum number of characters, so paste the blank character several times until the name field shows the minimum length requirement is met.
Why Regular Spaces Do Not Work in Game Names
The first thing most people try when they want a blank game name is to just press the spacebar a few times and submit. This does not work for a very simple reason: game name fields almost universally reject strings that consist only of regular space characters. The validation system checks whether the name is empty or consists only of whitespace, and if it does, it rejects the input and shows an error.
The Unicode blank character works because it is not a space in the technical sense. It is a real Unicode character with a specific code point (U+2800) that has no visible glyph. To the game's validation system, it looks like a real character rather than empty input. So the name field accepts it, but when it displays in the game, the character renders as nothing visible.
Which Games Support the Blank Name Trick
Free Fire
Free Fire has supported blank names using the Braille Pattern Blank character for a long time. The character can be used in the in-game name change feature. You typically need to repeat the blank character at least three times to meet the minimum name length. The blank name appears in the lobby, on the kill feed, and on the scoreboard. Note that Garena occasionally updates its name filters, so if one method stops working, try using more repetitions of the blank character or try the Zero Width Space (U+200B) as an alternative.
PUBG Mobile
PUBG Mobile also supports blank names using the same Braille Pattern Blank character. The process is identical — paste the invisible character into the name change field, repeat it to meet the minimum length requirement, and save. The blank name then appears in lobbies and during matches. PUBG Mobile's name filtering is updated periodically, so results may vary depending on the current version of the game.
Call of Duty Mobile
COD Mobile supports Unicode characters in display names on most servers. The blank character trick works in the same way. Paste the invisible character into the display name field and save. The character may need to be repeated multiple times to satisfy the minimum character count.
Mobile Legends
Mobile Legends allows Unicode characters in in-game names. The blank character can be used here as well, though the exact behavior depends on the region server and game version. Some servers have stricter filtering than others.
Step by Step Guide for Free Fire
Step 1 — Copy the Blank Character
Select the content of the copy box at the top of this article and copy it. You can also copy it multiple times by pasting it into a notes app and duplicating it there before copying the full string.
Step 2 — Open Free Fire and Go to Your Profile
Open Free Fire and tap on your profile icon at the top left of the lobby screen. Tap the pencil or edit icon next to your current name.
Step 3 — Clear Your Current Name
Delete your existing name from the name field completely so the field is empty.
Step 4 — Paste the Blank Character
Long press in the name field and tap Paste. The field will appear empty but the blank character is there. If the game shows a minimum length error, go back to your notes app, paste the blank character three or more times, copy the full string, and paste that instead.
Step 5 — Save and Confirm
Tap OK or Confirm. The game will use one name change diamond or rename card if required. Your name now appears blank in the game.
Alternative Invisible Characters to Try
| Character | Unicode | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⠀ | U+2800 | Braille Pattern Blank | Most widely supported, try this first |
| | U+200B | Zero Width Space | Alternative if Braille blank is filtered |
| U+3000 | Ideographic Space | Wider blank, works in some games | |
| | U+FEFF | Zero Width No-Break Space | Alternative option |
Decorated Blank Name Styles
Many players combine the blank character with decorative Unicode symbols to create names that look styled without using regular letters. Some popular combinations include placing crown symbols on either side of blank characters, using decorative frame characters like ꧁ and ꧂ around blank space, or combining star symbols with invisible characters for a floating-stars effect.
For example, a name like ꧁⠀⠀⠀꧂ would show only the decorative frame characters with invisible space between them, creating a minimalist styled name. You can experiment with any combination of visible Unicode symbols and blank characters to create unique name styles.

Open Symbols LibraryFrequently Asked Questions
Will a blank name get me banned in Free Fire or PUBG?
Using Unicode characters including blank characters in game names is generally not against the terms of service of these games, since the games themselves allow Unicode input in name fields. However, policies can change, and some regional servers may have stricter rules. It is always worth checking the current terms of service for your specific game and region before making changes to your name.
Why does the blank character not work sometimes?
Game developers update their name filtering systems periodically, and sometimes they add the Braille Pattern Blank to their blocked character list. If U+2800 stops working, try the Zero Width Space (U+200B) or the Ideographic Space (U+3000) as alternatives. Repeating the character more times can also sometimes help if the game has a minimum character count validation.
Can I use this on PC games too?
Yes. The blank Unicode character works in any game or platform that accepts Unicode text input in name fields. PC games, browser games, and console games that allow Unicode names can all accept invisible characters using the same copy paste method.
How do I undo a blank name if I want to change it back?
Simply go back to the name change screen, clear the field, and type your new name normally. The blank character is treated like any other character in the field and can be deleted and replaced with regular text.
