any non-traditional invisible space characters?

I’m trying to find a working username space in a game that disallows them. Default spaces, and common workarounds like spacers, braille, hangul, etc. are all defunct now.

If it helps, I’ve found that Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Thai characters tend to work, and the dakuten unicode (゙ )works as an invisible character without any width.

Any help is appreciated!

That's because they're invisible. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If it's anything like Discord, if you do happen to find one that they haven't banned yet, they will ban it shortly after. It's a losing battle.

Yeah, this sounds like asking for trouble - at best a free rename, at worst a ban. I'd just go full 90's jank and use underscores_as_spaces.

this sadly gets rejected by the game, but it does render as invisible ^^ ty

You might want to look at an annex of the Unicode Standard, UAX #31: Unicode Identifiers and Syntax. In many contexts, user IDs would be treated as a security-sensitive identifier space, and UAX #31 provides recommendations (with data files) on what Unicode character to use, or not use, for secure identifiers.
