Description
🐛 Bug Report
Differences in strings containing zero width chars are not highlighted, making them incredibly hard to spot and debug. Eg, one of the following strings has as its first character (character at position 0) a byte order mark character as its first character, and the other has the letter "T" as its first character.
Additional useful info
- UTF-16 spec on Byte Order Mark character (scroll to end of page). Its hex code is
FEFF, or 65279 in decimal. - Related issues: #8448, #6881
To Reproduce
Just create two strings that look identical, one of which contains a character such as the BOM character.
Expected behavior
A clear indication of the difference.
