    invalid character ... server / stack error

    Getting this weird-ass bug when I try to publish a specific page type.

    I gathered as much as there's an invalid character somewhere, but in which document to find it I have no idea. I had a look through my code and found no errors myself, checked even in VWD and it found no problems.

    [XmlException: '', hexadecimal value 0x03, is an invalid character. Line 3, position 82.]
   System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) +73

   System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +74
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +2207

    How the heck do I get rid of this?

    this type of error is typically related to error in one of the xml files... open the main umbraco xml file -- in app_data in later versions of umbraco and see if there are wierd NULL characters at the end...

    also could be in the language files in umbraco/config/lang folder... i found this in all of my lang files after uploading via ftp just the other day.

     

    hope this helps.

    That's odd, I thought I had deleted this post - as I discovered the error about 2 minutes after I posted this.

    The trouble was that I had been doing some bughunting earlier and editited tinyMceConfig.config and set a value wrong.

    I had this issue just now with 4.7.1.1.  It seems to be due to a small chunk of text I'm copying/pasting from Photoshop.  Even running it through Notepad doesn't clear it up.  It turned out to be some weird invisible line-break character.  It was possible to strip this out just by manually deleting it in the 'textboxmultiple' editor (which is the data type I've had the issue with).

    I had this issue in 6.05 - It was a copying/pasting from Photoshop issue as well.
    I just copied the text into sublimetext. It showed up the ETX chracter that caused the issue.
    Deleted it and pasted back...and it works.

    Running 'ZapGremlins' from the menu in TextWrangler (Mac) sorted this :)

    Just registered so I can't vote, but Scott Drummond's reply was my issue as well.

    Umbraco 7.0.4, pasting in text to the RTE from Photoshop CC. Pasted into Notepad++ and saw the hidden EXT special characters. Stripped those out and could publish the item OK.

    I am developing my Brazilian () client website and the following text is in his language. how this will work because it is giving the same error and it has those EXT.

    A gradual expansão para áreas de negócio, como as obras públicas, e a protecção anticorrosiva, levou à criação de empresas distintas: Electrofer - Tratamento de Superfície,e Electrofer II - Construções Metálicas.
