How to remove char 8236

Question

I'm trying to parse some phone numbers, and I have a function to check if the parsed string is made up of only numbers or the + sign.

In some of them there is an hiden character of value 8236.

Comparing it against '\0' and '\u8236' doesnt work...

What is this character and how do I remove it?

Thanks to @Maximilian Gerhardt who sent this link in a comment https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202c/index.htm

I was able to know that 8236 corresponds to character '\u202c'

So I did str.Trim('\u202c') And it did work

edit:

The simple way to get the corresponding code is to convert from decimal to hex.

8236(decimal) -> 202C(hexadecimal)
