Nowadays, gaming has become a full-time profession for most people all around the globe. This is so because it not only provides a joyful experience but also offers an opportunity to make a handsome amount of earnings as well.
There are numerous online gaming platforms available on the internet, that allow gamers to stand out tall among others by showing off their gaming skills.
But what if you don’t have good gaming abilities? Don’t worry because there is another way as well that you (the gamer) can use to get recognized by the crowd. The way is by making your gaming profile unique and different from your fellow gamers.
This is the reason; you will often see gamers trying hard to create a unique and excellent-looking profile. To do this, they use different tips and tricks, and one of them is an invisible character.
An invisible character has the potential to make your gaming profile 100% unique/different from others. Want to know keep reading, because in this article I am going to discuss the power of invisible characters in gaming.
What is an invisible character?
Invisible characters are basically specific Unicode characters that appear invisible to the human eye when used; while the algorithms of online platforms count them as “real characters.”
Due to this, these are also commonly known as “empty text,” or “blank text.” Invisible characters are primarily used to add blank spaces between the text without pressing the “Space” button.
The human eye will see the inserted space as normal space, but if you want to put that into a word-counting tool like MS Word, then the software will count the space as a “Real character.”
Now, I think you have an efficient idea about invisible characters, let’s understand their power in gaming.
Understanding the Power of Invisible Characters in Gaming
Below, I have discussed different ways through which you can understand the power of blank text in gaming.
- Fun With Your Online Friends While Chatting:
As a gaming lover, I know there are numerous games and online platforms available on the internet that provide a personal chat box in which gamers can freely chat with their online fellows.
So, while chatting with your friends, you can send invisible characters as a message (message with no characters/letters). This will provide you with a fun experience because your friends will think about how you can send a message without typing anything. This is not supported by any online chatting platform in the world. Instead, every chatting platform must require the person to type a least a single letter, otherwise, the “Send” button does not become active/work.
But your friends do not know that you have pasted invisible characters that are not visible to human eyes, but text algorithms can count them as original characters/letters.
- Making Your Gaming Profile Name Invisible:
By using blank text in your profile name, you can make it unique because it will not be visible to anyone on that platform. This means others will see your profile with “No name.”
There is also a chance that your fellow gamers may check their internet connection because they will think that your name may not be loaded due to the poor internet connection.
But the reality is that you have used empty text instead of typing your name during the profile creation process. This is why your profile appears without a name.
- Build Curiosity Among The Others:
This is obvious, when (the gamer) makes use of invisible characters either while chatting with friends, or in the profile name. This will definitely build curiosity among the individuals about how you have done this.
Because most people including gamers are still not aware of invisible characters.
