Paste into vim, position the cursor under the character in question and hit :ga for ASCII and :g8 for UTF-8

SPOILER: It's a space.

And I see it in FireFox, but not in Chrome.

For F28, I am looking for a file editor that when I paste from the

I am having problems with a web form copy to clipboard.  You can see at
test page at:

http://www.htt-consult.com/button2.html

In Firefox on my F28 system, there is a character copied to the
clipboard that is in front of the sed command of line 1 that displays in
mousepad and geany as a space.

When I paste it into Libre Word, I get the text in a bunch of boxes.

I want to know what that character really is to figure out what is wrong
with my java script.

BTW, I have been told that Chrome does not put any character in front of
the sed command on the copy button.

Any help greatly appreciated!
