(one of those nights 😛)
Copied a URL to a YouTube video, and wondered why it showed it was deleted (not 404 error), while searching for it showed it actually exists.
Turned out the link I copied somehow contained a ZWSP character (zero-width space) at the start of the video's ID, which the Chrome's address bar converted to an actual character, even though it's not visible, and that broke the link to the actual video and redirected to another.
And while searching for that, I wanted to see if I could type the ZWSP with the keyboard, but no. Alt codes are pretty limited. But I can copy the character via Chrome's dev console, with copy("\u200B")
