Your curiosity and interest level would have been piqued as a result of this. Where can I find the instructions for putting a blank space as my Discord name?
An invisible entity The “name” field in Discord is not an empty space but rather contains a character that cannot be seen. Therefore, it is not an empty value; rather, it is analogous to a single letter, such as the letter ‘A’. The only problem is that you can’t actually see it. The implementation of Unicode enables the aforementioned to take place.
Unicode is an encoding standard that can be applied to a variety of writing systems and languages. In Unicode, each character (letter, digit or symbol) is assigned a unique numeric value. This value is a standard that can be recognized on all different kinds of platforms and in all kinds of programs.
For instance, the value of the letter ‘A’ in the English alphabet as represented by Unicode is ‘U+0041.’ Different editors have different syntax requirements for entering this information. For instance, in Microsoft Word, you can type “U+0041,” then select the text and press “Alt + X.”
This will create a special character. The letter ‘A’ will show in the text in that case. In order to obtain a Discord name that is not invisible, we are going to apply the same basic concept. Check into it, and have fun fooling your friends with what you find.

Be the Discord User Without a Name
The widely used Discord platform for online communication offers tricks for customizing how your account is presented when you are online, including the option to display a blank username.
This option is ideal for keeping a cool, mysterious identity while still standing out from the crowd and being discreet at the same time. Even though Discord already has safety protocols in place, selecting this option additionally conceals your identity.
Making an invisible username is not nearly as difficult as it may sound like it would be. Simply enter the special tilde character () into the text field designated for either your Username or Nickname within your account.
Since Discord is unable to display that character, it has provided you with a blank username in its place.
