Invisible Times Symbol
The Invisible Times symbol (, U+2062) is a punctuation mark that displays subtle spacing without visible text.
U+2062
Invisible Times () is a punctuation symbol assigned Unicode code point U+2062. It can help control typographic spacing where you want separation but not an obvious character. You can copy it directly or insert it using HTML or programming escapes.
Invisible Times Symbol Meaning
The Invisible Times symbol (U+2062) is a punctuation character intended to act like a “times” separator while remaining visually subtle or effectively invisible in many contexts. It’s commonly used to influence spacing and layout—especially in typography—without drawing attention as a normal character would. Because it may appear as minimal punctuation (or not be easily noticeable), it’s useful when you want separation in text flow but prefer not to show a full symbol. When transferring content between tools, using the provided HTML entity (⁢) or escapes helps ensure the character stays consistent in different fonts and editors.
Common uses
- •Add subtle spacing between elements in typography (e.g., units or labels) without using a visible operator.
- •Create cleaner text rendering in math-like layouts where a separator is needed but looks too prominent.
- •Prevent words or tokens from visually merging when designing UI text strings.
- •Use in HTML/Markdown content where you want controlled separation that doesn’t add a visible symbol.
- •Include in code-generated text to ensure consistent invisible punctuation across systems.
