I also saw this on a site of mine:
"Sat & Sun weekend meetings are usually also in person at U.C.
Berkeley's Free Speech Cafe. Check the mailing list, #berkeleytip IRC
channel, & this page for the latest details."

Those texts are copy and paste each first line, 
& then i hand removed the 'invisible' characters on the second line, for
this email.

So, the characters are in the text, they just appear as blank space in
the pages.

Some, but not all of those characters.

Anyone seen this?  Fix?

I think I first might have noticed this a few days ago.
