@SHA-256 thanks for the info :P yea apparently it's a non breaking space or something but imagine looking for a single whitespace-y character in your code :P
-
@liammartens Being a Python Dev I can imagine the nightmare (although it avoidable since sublime text shows spaces as dots and the special space gets shown as nothing )

@SHA-256 yea true but you have to have it turned on of course and then again it is a needle in a haystack haha 😄

It is named non breakable space, meant to be used before punctuation to avoid it to go next line. In html, you insert one with and in LaTeX with ~
The true worse is the right-to-left block marker character, reverse the reading of characters after it in the text editor, useless in all situations
Well, that’s one way to stop someone from harassing you online. But damn....
Who. The. Fuck. Did. This.
So everyone is talking about those Greek sign pranks right? But I got something just as bad (I haven't used it as a prank but I've just encountered it on my own -> pranked my self)
So on Mac OS you can type this character with ALT+Space and it looks like a space, but it isn't. If you don't have render whitespaces on you would never know that it is not a space... Imagine the time you can spend on finding that xD you mistyped 1character and BAM broken xD
undefined
not space
