Good to know

  • Some invisible characters are intentional in multilingual text, so removal always needs context.

FAQ

Are tabs and line breaks treated as errors?
No. They are listed for visibility, but the cleaned copy keeps ordinary tabs and line breaks.
Can every detected character be removed safely?
No. Direction and joiner characters can be meaningful in some languages. Review the text before using the cleaned copy.
