    Stop Unicode trolls from messing with your code.

    • Replacing ascii with similar-looking unicode characters is an old trick. There's a bunch of these characters out there. You can use it in the code to prank your colleague developers - April 1st is nearing!

    I even made a vim plugin that highlights these "dangerous" characters: https://github.com/vim-utils/vim-troll-stopper

    I've never been pranked with unicode characters, but I've had a situation at work where a consultant from Japan unintentionally used some "japanese space" characters in a translation file, and that broke our app. Since I have my vim plugin running all the time it didn't take me a lot to see what's going on.
