Nice! Yeah, seem to happen a lot so not surprised you know about it. I didn’t see it from a search in the bug list though.

I encountered this problem today for the first time, too. And i think i found it.
It happened when i copied text from one particular website to Figma. This Website was built with the CMS Government Sitebuilder.
I could not see anything in the code that would indicate hidden symbols. I removed all formatting in textedit and checked the code in an editor.
After that i copied the text out of the source code into word and back into figma. And then i could see spaces between all syllables. My guess is that the CMS inserts invisible spaces in UTF-8 to make correct hyphenation possible.

This happens in Figma with truncated texts. I need the words to separate in syllables.
