# Do invisible characters bypass AI detectors?

No, and they can backfire. Zero-width and hidden unicode characters get stripped by modern tools in seconds, and they leave an obvious sign that the text was tampered with. Worse, hidden characters can smuggle prompt injections into your document. Remove AI Tells scans for that junk so you can delete it rather than spread it around unknowingly.
