I ve several plugins  including Unicode Character Highlighter   but the only one which found the character that was hiding from me today was Highlighter   You can test to see if it s working by pasting in the text from the readme   For reference  the character causing me trouble was       For a sanity check  tap your right arrow key over a range of text containing an invisible character  and you ll need to right-arrow twice to move past the character   I m also using the following custom regex string  which I don t fully grok             there s an extra range in use     x00-  x7F         also  don t highlight spaces at the end of the line  my settings take care of that       highlighter regex      t         t       x00-  x7F    u2026 u2018 u2019 u201c u201d u2013 u2014
