A previous team leader also warned of Unicode supporting editors and a toggle of hidden characters. Somehow being able to mark a sequence of characters as non-printing yet pasted into code, may still be valid code. I never explored it much but it still got me the habit of pasting code from external sources through a reduced character-set (ASCII) for validation.
