It's definitely not a space. It displays a little box on my Mozilla,
which means "this is a character that the font doesn't have a glyph for".
Copying and pasting from Mozilla, Mozilla Source View and Mozilla DOM
Inspector always returned the string truncated before that character.
That's a most unusual behavior - usually copy&paste doesn't care much
about the contents that it's moving around.
A *very* strange effect in Mozilla Source View is that a few characters
after that box, one of the characters has a diagonal slash through it.
Internet Explorer just ignores the character: it doesn't show it, and
copies&pastes as if there were no character at that point.
My best bet is that it's a NULL character, but I haven't been able to
confirm that.

Jo
