    Came here to say fuck the zero width space. I spent 90 hours in the depths of solr looking for this fucker who brought down our entire search index.

      I deal with shy hyphens a lot. They don’t display unless there’s a line break, so they get copied from various word docs or websites and end up in a database somewhere waiting to piss me off.

        No. CMS updated to support new character set while solr did not. Not enough sanitization.

          I’ve had similar “fun” with the character defaults on MySQL, from memory for a time it was Swedish by default, rather than UTF.
