What is classified text?

Classified text is a redacted or censored text effect created using Unicode block and symbol characters like █, ▓, ▒, ■, ⬛, and ⬜. It mimics the look of blacked-out documents and hidden information while staying copy-paste compatible.

Can classified text reveal itself when highlighted?

No. Unicode characters are static, so classified symbols do not reveal hidden text on highlight. If you need true spoiler-style reveal, use platform features like Discord spoiler formatting (||text||) or Telegram’s Spoiler formatting.

Where can I use classified Unicode symbols?

You can paste classified Unicode symbols anywhere that supports Unicode text, including social posts, comments, usernames, bios, messages, documents, and emails. Because this is Unicode text, not formatting, it works as normal characters.

Why do some classified symbols show as boxes or missing characters?

Some devices, apps, or fonts may not fully support certain Unicode symbols. If a symbol renders incorrectly, try a different symbol set (like █ or ■), update your OS, or test on a different device.

Does the redacted text generator keep my text length, and can I redact only some words?

Yes. The generator blacks out your text character-for-character, so each word keeps its original length — 'The agent arrived at 9 PM' becomes 'The █████ arrived at █ ██'. To hide only specific words, use the Selective style and wrap those words in [[double brackets]]; everything outside the brackets stays readable. The Alternate style redacts every other word automatically.

Can redacted text be uncovered, unredacted, or decoded?

No. Unicode block redaction permanently replaces the original letters, so there is nothing hidden underneath to highlight, decode, or unredact. This differs from image redaction (a black box over a screenshot), which can sometimes be reversed if the original pixels remain.
