If you’re working on a website, you can combine Wingdings with an invisible character and add a link like this:

<a href="https://example.com" style="text-decoration:none;">&#8203;</a>

Here’s what happens:

  • &#8203;: This is a zero-width space, an invisible character that takes no visual space but is clickable.

  • style="text-decoration:none;": Removes any visual cues like underlines, making the link truly invisible.

Embedding in Word or Other Text Editors

For Word:

  1. Insert a space or special invisible character.

  2. Highlight it and add a hyperlink by right-clicking and selecting "Hyperlink."

  3. Test it to ensure the invisible area is clickable.
