I had an unusual problem when I was previewing my document. I had a couple of places where an question mark which was thrown in but which did not show up in Sigil or even in notepad++. Is it possible for ASCII 160s or other invisible characters to be stored in a document but not have them display?

I retyped the whole line and the question marks went away in Reader Library.

I explored further and where the ? are displayed in Reader Library, you can insert the cursor in Sigil, press delete and nothing will apparently happen. But that deletes the hidden character.

Yet further research reveals the trouble character to be C2 in Hex, 194 in decimal. It does not display.
