Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the editor's text rendering and warning or notification paths, then clarify which Unicode characters count as strange and whether showing, warning, or both are required. Done means the agreed characters are visibly identified or warned about, with tests covering the behavior.
