What
Claude Code cleans some text by removing hidden or unusual Unicode characters, which are characters that do not show on screen but can change how text is read. That cleanup step can now keep a log of every edit it makes, including:
characters it removes
characters it replaces with U+FFFD, the standard replacement character
line endings (CR/LF) that it normalises
Claude Code can also use this log to find which part of the original text a stretch of cleaned text came from.
Why
This lets Claude Code point from cleaned text back to the exact place it sits in the original, instead of losing track once characters have been removed.
