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.
