Technical Issue with code?

Reader says that on several of my poems, he sees a html code all over saying L-SEP (Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41555397/strange-symbol-shows-up-on-website-l-sep)

Wondering if any of you are seeing the same thing. Specifically on Owl Series: I.

Has anyone else experienced this symbol cropping up? I don't see it at all on mine or anyone else's. I use a Mac and an I-phone with Safari and Chrome browsers.

I clicked on Your link and yes, I see the L-SEP in various places.

I am using an old Dell Desktop PC and my browser is Firefox

Can't answer Your Question just wanted to add some info

ok, i went in to modify a poem and found that i had a lot of unnecessary spaces after words before line breaks. i transfer my poems a lot over several mediums so i guess some extra spacing junk got attached (silent L-SEP parasite)

thankfully, i don't have that many poems posted. going through all of them and deleting unwanted spaces. when i'm done, will you please recheck and see if they disappear?

Character encoding/decoding can be a tricky affair, especially when people are copying content from other software, which may use non-standard encoding. Most of the web uses UTF8. I do have some code in place to weed out common issues, but occasional problems can crop up. I'm glad you found the culprit.
