Answer 1

This script will find and remove all the invisible ­s on your page:

document.body.innerHTML=document.body.innerHTML.replace(/\u00AD/g, '');

It works by searching for the Unicode character U+00AD. It's invisible when it doesn't sit at a line break, which is probably why you can't find it in your code.
