Invisible Characters Tool

View, strip, normalize, or copy special/invisible characters from pasted text.

Tired of mystery characters breaking your copy-paste? Special Character Tool makes hidden Unicode gremlins visible and lets you scrub them away in one click. ✨ Features • View Specials – Reveal zero-width spaces, non-breaking spaces, control codes, and other non-printables with clear U+XXXX labels. • Remove Specials – Strip problematic characters while preserving regular punctuation, curly quotes, and dashes. • Normalize – Collapse mixed whitespace (tabs, newlines, NBSP) into a single ASCII space for clean, predictable text. • Copy – One-tap clipboard copy of the cleaned or normalized result. • Works completely offline—no data leaves your browser. 📝 How to use 1. Click the extension icon to open the popup. 2. Paste or type your text. 3. Choose View, Remove, or Normalize. 4. Hit Copy to grab the processed text back to your clipboard. 🔒 Privacy This extension processes everything locally; it never transmits your text or usage data anywhere. 💬 Support & feedback Spotted a weird code point or need another feature? --> Email hello@app-snacks.com
