ASINs no longer seem to work on smile.amazon.com/dp/ASIN

If I am looking at a product with ASIN ‎B097CMQVF4, and I go to smile.amazon.com/dp/‎B097CMQVF4, it redirects me to https://www.amazon.com/dp/%E2%80%8E‎B097CMQVF4 which doesn't exist. I have to manually remove "%E2%80%8E" and then it works. Is this just an issue for me?
