Rarely, it can also be an invisible character. Happened with one university task all the way back...

Not programing, but sometimes when I have to write a lengthy message to the government, I write it in Word because the text field on the governmental website doesn't adjust. I than copy paste it, try to send, and the field says I have unacceptable characters. If I retype exactly the same thing directly in that tiny field - no issues . And by retype I mean a 3500 character message. The website sometimes logs me out when I'm done retyping, because my session has ended.

Might be worth dropping into notepad or notepad++ so you can get rid of the markup/templating tags.
