Rich Text field is producing weird space character instead of  

Question

This is a Rich Text field within a matrix, it's output in the template like this: {{ block.text }}

If I pass the "|raw" filter I get the same.

If you notice, the Rich Text Field has a before the closing </p>, which isn't output in the markup, instead I get this strange character.

I had a similar thing with hacksaw recently bringing up this character here: https://github.com/ehousestudio/craft_hacksaw/issues/16

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Could you copy and paste the strange character into the bottom field on this page and update your post with the results: freeformatter.com/string-utilities.html — Stephen Hamilton, Commented Oct 5, 2016 at 14:06
This happens to me in my mamp environment as well. But not on my live server. I guess it's more of an server encoding problem (UTF8 vs. something else). — KSPR, Commented Oct 5, 2016 at 14:25
@StephenHamilton here is the character's results on that page: dropbox.com/s/ipbhqt75dxo0vvy/… Further info on it: fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0fffd/index.htm — joe, Commented Oct 5, 2016 at 15:41
@KSPR this site is only local (on mamp) right now, DB is on utf8 general ci — joe, Commented Oct 5, 2016 at 15:42
@joe Sounds like an environment issue then, could you maybe give us some more info on your web server setup? — Stephen Hamilton, Commented Oct 5, 2016 at 15:45

I did contact Craft about this near the time this question was posted, they were not sure why it was occuring.

I found that this issue was environment specific, it was specifically happening locally on MAMP4, with 5.6.* using NGINX.

I was unable to find the cause of the issue, but, in the end it was not happening on server environments so I decided to give up.
