Common myths
"It looks fine in my editor"
Invisible characters only surface on publish — when they break mobile layouts or fail SEO indexing.
"My CMS will handle it"
CMS platforms keep span tags and MSO styling. They do not strip zero-width characters.
"Changing the case fixes it"
Case conversion only touches letters. Hidden characters survive a case change untouched.
