And so on. Not stripped or made obvious for me on mbin. It's honestly pretty interesting to me that the paste showed extra spaces all over the place in my terminal when I pasted it, but putting it back in Firefox from the terminal to show the od output it converted them back into invisibility.

I discovered that issue with how it gets converted to spaces with some editors. It's a hell of a lot more resilient than I thought it would be, to be honest. Random pastes between apps should have nuked some of the characters, I thought.

Just off the top of my head, maybe a browser extension (or an existing one that allows you to parse content) could help detect this stuff.
