Every invisible
code point.

The full list this tool works from, with the Unicode number, the official name, and whether safe mode or strict mode removes it.

Removed in safe mode

These have little or no place in ordinary prose, so removing them is safe by default.

Removed only in strict mode

These do real work — holding emoji sequences together, shaping scripts with joined letters, controlling text direction. Removing them can change how text renders.

Replaced with a normal space

Visible as whitespace but not the ordinary space character, so they break search, comparison and alignment. Opt in with the space option.

Unicode tag characters (U+E0000–E007F)

A block with no visible rendering at all, which is why it is used to hide data inside otherwise normal text. Always removed, in both modes.
