First, go to the name-changing screen as shown above. Then copy the symbol present within the apostrophes “ ً” and paste it into the Twitter name field. Make sure to remove the apostrophes before clicking the Save button. Refresh the profile and you will have a blank Twitter name.
Tip: In case the above symbol doesn’t work, use the Copy paste dump website to get the invisible name symbol.

Similar to the blank name method, you can add other symbols or special characters to your Twitter name by copy-paste method.
