PUBG Mobile and PUBG: Battlegrounds handle names differently from Free Fire, so the invisible-name trick works but with its own quirks. This guide covers how to set a blank PUBG name, which characters survive the filters, and the common problems unique to PUBG.

How to get a blank name in PUBG Mobile

  1. Copy an invisible character from the generator above (the Hangul Filler works best).
  2. Open PUBG Mobile and go to your profile.
  3. Tap the rename (pencil) icon — you will need a Rename Card or UC.
  4. Clear the name field completely and paste the invisible character.
  5. Confirm. Your name now appears blank in the lobby, kill feed and leaderboard.

PUBG vs Free Fire: key differences

PUBG is generally stricter than Free Fire about invisible names. Here is what to know:

  • Rename cost: PUBG requires a Rename Card (earned or bought with UC), whereas Free Fire uses a Diamond-purchased rename card.
  • Character acceptance: PUBG Mobile tends to accept the Hangul Filler more reliably than the zero-width space. The Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800) is another strong option for PUBG specifically.
  • "Name already taken": even more common in PUBG than Free Fire. Use two or three invisible characters instead of one.
Tested note: on the November 2026 PUBG Mobile build, a single Hangul Filler was accepted on the Global server. The zero-width space was rejected. If your region differs, try the Braille Blank from the Unicode table.

PUBG: Battlegrounds (PC/Console)

The PC and console version uses Steam or your platform account name, not an in-game rename. To get an invisible Steam name, paste an invisible character into your Steam profile name field. This affects your display name everywhere on Steam, not just PUBG. Be aware that some Steam community features may behave oddly with a blank name.

Troubleshooting

  • "Invalid character" error: PUBG filters the specific character you used. Switch to Hangul Filler or Braille Blank.
  • Name shows as a square: the receiving player's device cannot render that character. This is cosmetic on their end, not an error on yours.
  • Name reverts after update: Krafton updates their filter list periodically. Come back and grab a different character from the table.

Will PUBG ban me for a blank name?

A blank name is cosmetic and not a cheat. Krafton bans for hacks, exploits and third-party tools, none of which are involved here. That said, competitive tournaments may require a visible name for identification, so switch back before entering ranked events if you are unsure.

Recap

Copy the Hangul Filler above, paste it into the PUBG rename field, and confirm. If rejected, use two or three characters or try the Braille Blank. For PC PUBG, change your Steam profile name instead. Free, reversible, and takes under a minute.
