Yes, it has been noted previously that between typing at the keyboard and getting displayed on the forum some space characters are being converted to &H00 or other non-printable character.
This has been happening for some time but was invisible in the past, causing problems when you copy code to MMBasic.
The diamond with a "?" now shows the errors so you can edit them out with spaces.

When Glenn changed the forum to a new server, some of the HTML "space characters" did not convert properly.

In most cases, you can treat them as a single space and do a global search and replace in your preferred editor if you are downloading the post. Otherwise, just ignore.

If you are copying code for use, you do have to convert the characters before sending to the pico.

Shameless plug: MMEdit does this for you.

No! Not shameless.. Promote your editor, it works fine and as you say" does a bit 'O' housekeeping.

I'm using it all the time now.
