Recently, information security has become a very important topic for researchers as well as military and government officials. For secure communication, it is necessary to develop novel ways to hide information, for this purpose, steganography is usually used to send secret information to their destination using different techniques. The aim of this article is to provide a new text steganography method. Hidden information in text files is difficult to discover as text data has low redundancy in comparison to other mediums of steganography. Hence, we use an Arabic text to hide secret information using a combination of Unicode character's zero-width-character (ZWC), zero-width-joiner (ZWJ) and pseudo-space (PS) in the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show increasing in hidden data capacity per word in comparison to the recently proposed algorithms. The major advantage of our proposed algorithm over previous researches is the high visual similarity in both cover and stego-text that can reduce the attention of intruders.
