As others mention, these do not look like watermarks, it looks like it's just emitting exotic whitespace in certain cases.


Exotic whitespaces that destroy a programmer's free time.


Probably won't show up in source code at all, though nothing of value would be lost if they did!


Those characters do matter, though. They are the difference between

    $2.5
    billion

    $2.5 billion


You mean typographically correct whitespace


But should probably be removed when copying, especially code


Why? If nt’s typographically correct, it is not going to appear in places where it could cause problems.
