You might have seen a trick on Discord where the little `(edited)` caption
|
|
appears in the middle of a message instead of at the end. With a small hack
|
|
involving the [right-to-left embedding character
|
|
(U+202B)](https://unicode-explorer.com/c/202B), the `(edited)` text can be moved
|
|
to any location inside the message.

|
|
This trick only works if you're on desktop/web, and will also only show to
|
|
people on desktop/web.

## Tutorial
|
|
|
|
Before you start, copy the "right-to-left embedding" character
|
|
([U+202B](https://unicode-explorer.com/c/202B)) to your clipboard.
|
|
|
|
### Method 1
|
|
|
|
With this method you write a placeholder message, and then replace it completely
|
|
with a new message containing the `(edited)` text inside it all at once.
|
|
|
|
1. Send a message with some random text (this text will be replaced entirely)
|
|
2. Start editing the message you just created and delete all the text inside
|
|
3. Type the text you want on the left of `(edited)`.
|
|
4. Type a space, then paste the character twice, and type another space.
|
|
5. Type the text you want on the right of `(edited)`.
|
|
6. Save the message.
|
|
|
|
You can also start at step 3 instead, send the message, and then perform any
|
|
edit on the message afterwards to add the `(edited)` text.
|
|
|
|
### Method 2
|
|
|
|
This method works by adding `(edited)` to the end of an existing message, and
|
|
then extra text to the right.
|
|
|
|
1. Send a message containing the text you want on the left of `(edited)`.
|
|
2. Start editing the message you just created
|
|
3. At the end of the message, type a space, then paste the character twice, and
|
|
type another space.
|
|
4. Type the text you want on the right of `(edited)`.
|
|
5. Save the message.
