Are there any invisible characters? I have checked Google for invisible characters and ended up with many answers but I'm not sure about those. Can someone on Stack Overflow tell me more about this?
Also I have checked a profile on Facebook and found that the user didn't have any name to his profile? How can this be possible? Is it some database issue? Hacking or something?
When I searched over Internet, I found that 200D
is an ASCII value with an invisible character. Is it true?
How a character is represented is up to the renderer, but the server may also strip out certain characters before sending the document.

in HTML. The code block below should contain that character:
I just went through the character map to get these.
They are all in Calibri.
