Cited:

"In computer science and formal language theory, the empty string (or
null string)[1] is the unique string of length zero. It is denoted
with λ or sometimes Λ or ε.

The empty string is distinct from a null reference in that in an
object-oriented programming language a null reference to a string type
doesn't point to a string object and will cause an error were one to
try to perform any operation on it. The empty string is still a string
upon which string operations may be attempted.

A related concept is the empty language ∅, a formal language that
contains no strings."
