Title: Unexplained hidden character in trust.txt.xz. Solved! Post by: LoyceV on January 25, 2019, 10:35:51 AM Every Saturday, theymos updates http://bitcointalk.org/trust.txt.xz. This file has all trust connections from all users, but shows usernames instead of userIDs.
I found most usernames with weird characters after a quick manual search (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sa=search), but there's one line I can't figure out. In a text editor it looks like this: Code: Razerglass->Craven Code: Razerglass->ÂCraven Title: Re: Unexplained hidden character in trust.txt.xz. Bug?

Title: Re: Unexplained hidden character in trust.txt.xz. Bug? Post by: khaled0111 on January 25, 2019, 11:49:56 AM I think the username contain a special char that doesn't appear in the browser.
Go to this page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21885 View its source code and copy paste any line containing the username Craven Delete chars backwards one by one, you will notice there is a hidden char before the C letter. Craven (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21885) registred back in 2011, I don't know if this feauture is still supported by the forum. You can also use this website to see the hidden char: https://www.soscisurvey.de/tools/view-chars.php Title: Re: Unexplained hidden character in trust.txt.xz. Bug? Post by: DdmrDdmr on January 25, 2019, 11:59:18 AM It does seem to be that profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21885
If I copy the username from the profile, and paste into an ascii converter I get: 194 173 67 114 97 118 101 110 Now the ascii(194) is not capital "C" (that is ascii(67)). If I select on SQL ascii(194) it shows as Â. Title: Re: Unexplained hidden character in trust.txt.xz. Bug? Post by: LoyceV on January 25, 2019, 12:07:18 PM Go to this page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21885 Thanks, that explains it. For some reason the forum Members search didn't give me this account, I only found userID 698186 (Craven (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=698186)).View its source code and copy paste any line containing the username Craven Delete chars backwards one by one, you will notice there is a hidden char before the C letter.

As far as I know, it's not allowed anymore.My question is answered. I'll lock this thread soon. Title: Re: Unexplained hidden character in trust.txt.xz. Solved! Post by: FatBen on January 25, 2019, 12:20:42 PM He probably used a no-break space when registering his username. The name appears as though it's one word but there is a space between  and Craven represented by a set of characters
