🎩 Behold, the Bloomberg Terminal: the 👑 of financial software, revered not for its beauty, but for its unbridled commitment to user-hostility. 🤖 Like a beloved vintage car that everyone curses but can't live without, it's the definition of Stockholm Syndrome for traders. 🚀

PSA to save you the hour+ I just spent tracking this down:
MS Teams silently replaces leading spaces (ASCII/UTF-8 0x20) with UTF-8 U+00A0, non-breaking space, which is 0xC2A0. This will break lots of things if you’re sharing code snippets.
And yes, it even does this in code blocks — in fact, it replaces ALL the spaces.
As nearly everything that uses text is now UTF-8 aware, there is no way an average user can *see* this. They print as spaces.
