A bit meta but anyone know why the submission title contains unicode between various characters?
It's hidden on both Chromium/Firefox when viewing the page but when saving the page it reveals them in the text field, eg: `GitHub Copi_lot inves_ti_ga_tion`
Plugging the title into a unicode converter shows they're 'soft hyphen' characters
GitHub Copi [0x00AD] lot inves [0x00AD] ti [0x00AD] ga [0x00AD] tion
Edit: apparently they're for indicating to formatters where character breaks should be, though I can't understand the consistency here.
