How to Get a Blank Name in Among Us (2026)

A blank name in Among Us — also called an invisible name or a "no name" — looks like a glitch, but it's a simple trick using an invisible Unicode character. Instead of leaving the name field empty (which the game won't accept), you paste a "space" that isn't really a space. This still works in 2026; here's exactly how to do it, plus the caveats and a few cleaner alternatives.

Why you can't just leave it empty

Among Us requires a name before you can play, so a truly empty field is rejected. The workaround is to fill the field with a character that renders as nothing. The classic choice is a Unicode blank / invisible character — most commonly the "Hangul Filler" — which the game treats as valid text but displays as empty space. Your name tag then appears blank above your crewmate.

The character to copy

You need an invisible character placed between two brackets so you can grab it cleanly. Copy everything between the brackets below (not the brackets themselves):

Selecting an invisible glyph by hand is fiddly, so the button below writes the exact character straight to your clipboard:

If your device still strips it, our dedicated invisible character page hosts every blank Unicode variant with tested one-click copy.

Is there an Among Us "no name" code?

People search for an "Among Us no name code," expecting a secret code you type in — but there isn't one. The "code" is simply the invisible character above: that single Unicode character is the no-name code. There's nothing else to enter. Copy the character between the brackets, paste it as your whole name, and you have a no-name in Among Us — no codes, cheats or mods required.

Step-by-step: set a blank name

• Copy the invisible character from between the brackets above (or from a blank-character tool).
• Open Among Us and go to the name entry screen (Online > the name field at the top).
• Clear the existing name completely.
• Paste the invisible character. The field should look empty but actually contain the character.
• Confirm and join a game. Your name tag will appear blank.

On mobile, long-press the field to paste. On PC, use Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac). If the game still says the name is empty, the character was likely stripped during copy, so try again from a dedicated blank-character source.

Caveats to know

• Copy reliability: some browsers and keyboards trim invisible characters. If pasting fails, copy from a tool that's designed to preserve them.
• Updates can change behavior: Among Us has patched name handling before. If a previously working character stops, you may need a different invisible character.
• Some lobbies dislike it: a few hosts kick blank-name players because they're harder to call out in meetings. Be ready to switch.
• Platform differences: behavior can vary slightly between mobile, console and PC versions.
• It's not truly anonymous: you still appear as a colored character, and hosts can still see and kick you.

Cleaner alternatives to a fully blank name

If a blank name gets you kicked, you can keep most of the mystique while staying lobby-friendly:

• A single subtle symbol such as a small dot or star reads as minimal without looking empty. Browse options on our aesthetic symbols page.
• A tiny stylized name using a small-caps or thin font is distinctive but still callable. Try our aesthetic fonts.
• A short themed handle from our Among Us name generator gives you something memorable that won't get you removed.

How the invisible character trick works under the hood

It helps to understand why this works so you can troubleshoot it. Every character you type is really a Unicode code point. Most code points have a visible shape (a "glyph"), but a handful are defined as having no visible width or an empty glyph. The Hangul Filler is the classic example: it's a legitimate, fillable character, so the game's "name cannot be empty" check passes, yet it draws nothing on screen. That mismatch — valid as data, blank as a picture — is the entire trick.

This also explains the failures. When a paste "doesn't work," it's almost always because the tool you copied from silently dropped the zero-width character (many text fields and chat apps strip them as cleanup). The character never made it onto your clipboard, so you pasted an empty string and the game rejected it. Copying from a source built to preserve blank characters fixes this.

Setting a blank name on each platform

• Mobile (iOS / Android): long-press the cleared name field and tap Paste. If the on-screen keyboard auto-trims the character, copy it again from a blank-character tool and paste immediately without typing anything else.
• PC (Steam / Epic): click into the field, select all, delete, then Ctrl+V. On Mac use Cmd+V.
• Console: blank names are the least reliable here because system keyboards often strip invisible characters entirely. A single subtle symbol is usually the more dependable look.

Using a blank name well

A blank name is most fun as a small mind-game, not a way to grief. In meetings, players will often refer to you by color ("blue is sus") rather than name, which can genuinely change how a round plays out. Lean into that, but read the room: friendly lobbies enjoy it, while ranked or strict hosts may not. Having a normal name saved as a backup means you can switch in two seconds if you're asked to.

Summary

To get a blank Among Us name, paste an invisible Unicode character into the name field instead of leaving it empty. Keep a backup name ready in case a host objects, and remember that updates can change which characters work.
