A password that won't work though it looks right. A line of code that fails for no visible reason. Two cells that look identical and won't match. The cause is often a character you can't see: a zero-width space, a non-breaking space, a byte order mark.
They get in when text is copied from web pages, PDFs, chat apps and word processors. Paste the text and the tool reports what it finds and how many, then removes them. Non-breaking and odd-width spaces become ordinary spaces.
