What it helps with

Examples
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.
