What is unicode?
The Unicode Standard is the universal character representation standard for text in computer processing. Unicode provides a consistent way of encoding multilingual plain text making it easier to exchange text files internationally.
The Unicode Standard defines code points (unique numbers) for characters used in the major languages written today. This includes punctuation marks, diacritics, mathematical symbols, technical symbols, arrows, dingbats, and so on. In all, the Unicode Standard provides codes for over 100,000 characters from the world’s alphabets, ideograph sets, and symbol collections, including classical and historical texts of many written languages. The characters can be represented in different encoding forms, such as UTF-8 and UTF-16.
The Unicode Standard is fully compatible with the International Standard ISO/IEC 10646; it contains all the same characters and code points as ISO/IEC 10646. This code-for-code identity is true for all encoded characters in the two standards, including the East Asian (Han) ideographic characters. The Unicode Standard also provides additional information about the characters and their use. Any implementation that conforms to Unicode also conforms to ISO/IEC 10646.
So What Is U+2800?
Unicode space for free fire nick names - often misused as a blank, unique space symbol. The Braille pattern "dots-0", also called a "blank Braille pattern", is a 6-dot or 8-dot braille cell with no dots raised. It is represented by the Unicode code point U+2800, and in Braille ASCII with a space.
What can it be used for?
Well since it is a blank space, what I thought you can do with it is throw it randomly in your code if you are worried someone might use it without crediting you etc. Another valid way of using this can be to have invisible names on chat apps like Discord.
