Ask HN: What is the thin vertical green line in these search results?
When I perform this search: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=why%20do%20characters%20with%20accents%20look%20like%20gibberish%20characters
There's a thin vertical green line in the search results (you might need to scroll down a bit). The behavior is persistent across browsers, private window or not. Is this a bug with Google? Can anyone explain what the cause is? I'm really curious.
- davman 8y agoIt's a unicode character from the title of one of the URLs in the search results. https://superuser.com/questions/432015/what-is-this-%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C%CD%8C-strange-character https://superuser.com/questions/432015/what-is-this-%CD%8C%C...
