Code editor in forum injects non printable characters

This is a problem with this forum-software: When posting code to share sometimes the copied code will not run because there are non-printable characters included that destroy the logic.

The code in the HTML-editor works (also when edited again), but when the readers copy it, it will contain these invisible characters. (like here: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/forums/editpage/board-id/power-bi-designer/message-id/17755 the invisible character is between "Product" and "ID")

Hi Chuck,
sorry, missed your post.
It's in the step "Partition" of the link above (no format-options to highlight available here?):
Partition = Table.Group(Sales, {"StoreID"}, {{"Partition", each Table.NestedJoin(_,{"ProductID"},Product,{"Product​ID"},"NewColumn",JoinKind.RightAnti)}}),

The 2nd "ProductID" is separated into: Product & ID

... seems that editing isn't possible - so here comes the update: This seems to be a browser issue (again) with Internet Explorer :-(

Please fix nonetheless!!
Thank you.
