Description
Basically every character here: https://glyphy.io/cool-symbols/latin
For producing text such as β³π ππΆπβ― πΎπ β³πΆπππ½β―π.
It's transliterated as a bunch of whitespace:
```
β― node
Welcome to Node.js v22.21.1.
Type ".help" for more information.
> const tr = require("unidecode")
undefined
> tr('β³π ππΆπβ― πΎπ β³πΆπππ½β―π')
' '
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Node.js REPL with the linked Latin-script characters and inspect how the package maps them during transliteration. Done means these characters produce meaningful ASCII transliterations instead of whitespace; the payload does not name any files or tests to begin with.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
