Invisible characters - ASCII

Question

Are there any invisible characters? I have checked Google for invisible characters and ended up with many answers but I'm not sure about those. Can someone on Stack Overflow tell me more about this?

Also I have checked a profile on Facebook and found that the user didn't have any name to his profile? How can this be possible? Is it some database issue? Hacking or something?

When I searched over Internet, I found that 200D is an ASCII value with an invisible character. Is it true?

Answer 1

I just went through the character map to get these. They are all in Calibri.
