Someone needs to make a script which runs through a git repo's commit history and looks for commits which add invisible Unicode characters. Maybe some existing exploits could be found in the wild.

Some popular invisible characters are space, tab, and newline.

    I am responding to parent comment, not to the article. Spaces, tabs, and newlines can be used to alter code in invisible way.

Here's a script that detects the Anguish characters (except for the Byte Order Mark \ufeff, which isn't that rare): exp="\u2060|\u200b|\u2061|\u2062|\u2063|\u200c|\u200d" git log -p --pickaxe-regex -S"$exp"
