About this character

U+2800 is BRAILLE PATTERN BLANK, a symbol in the Braille Patterns block. It belongs to the Braille script. It was added in Unicode 3.0 (1999).

It renders as an empty space but does not have the White_Space property. Functions that trim or collapse whitespace leave it in place, which is why it is often used to make names or messages that look blank.
