oh man I was fighting with a supplier of one of our systems and about this exact thing a couple months ago, I think. copy/pasting something from one part of their software would allow an invisible/zerolength character in a unique identifier field, which obviously fucks shit up. they, as always, were incredibly difficult to deal with instead of just acknowledging the bug and saying they’ll fix it
Insert 48 additional invisible characters. If you need an easy generator to copy/paste I found this one with a quick google search:

My favourite is the zero width space. It has interesting interactions with many text fields.

aw yeah it’s still alt 255
Or Alt+0160 for a wider invisible character.
Because of 4chan, those two alt codes are permanently burned into my memory.
for me it was ascii editing.
