(U+2064) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Invisible Plus is part of the Symbols family (block: General Punctuation). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: Invisible Plus is a character in the General Punctuation block. Its code point is U+2064, shown as 2064 in hexadecimal. The name in English is INVisible PLUS, and the script is Common. It is part of the set of symbols used in text documents and formulas. The character is intended to be invisible in most displays. It does not appear as a visible symbol when text is rendered. In use, common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This helps programmers and readers manage layout and logic without adding visible clutter. The character supports text processing systems that rely on special spacers or joiners. It helps maintain the flow of data while keeping the visible content clear. When this character appears, it signals alignment or relationship between elements without changing the visible text. It plays a quiet role in complex documents, interfaces, and code where invisible mechanics matter.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2064 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
