What are hidden characters?
Every time you use the Spacebar, Tab key, Return key, or Enter key, you create an invisible character in the text. In the example image, right, you will see that the orange dots represent spaces. These hidden characters can be turned on to let you see where the spaces, tabs, and paragraph returns fall in the text. This can be very useful when editing text.
