another good one to sneak in there... thai zero-width space: U+200B
cant see it, nothing reads it, and it makes everything error. : D
Came here to say fuck the zero width space. I spent 90 hours in the depths of solr looking for this fucker who brought down our entire search index.
I'm guessing that they pasted code from inside Microsoft Word.
No. CMS updated to support new character set while solr did not. Not enough sanitization.
I've had similar "fun" with the character defaults on MySQL, from memory for a time it was Swedish by default, rather than UTF.
