What is a Blank Tweet?
A blank tweet (also called an empty tweet or nothing tweet) is a Twitter post that appears completely empty with no visible text. While Twitter normally requires you to type something before posting, you can bypass this using invisible Unicode characters. The character technically satisfies Twitter's requirement, but it's invisible to viewers, creating the effect of a completely blank post.
Why Post Empty Tweets?

- Share media without caption
- Make a statement with silence
- Fun experiment or prank
