The program automatically transform invisible character to ? which is not expected.

We believe the severity of this issue is VeryLow instead of high as it is purely cosmetic and does not affect usage. Furthermore, it arises only in extremely rare situations where a user deliberately inputs an invisible character in the description. This behavior is highly unlikely to occur during normal use and causes only a minor inconvenience.

As stated in the course website, issues caused by extreme user behavior such as deliberately inputting invisible characters that cannot be accidentally entered are not considered bugs.

Nevertheless, there are still some merits in the report. Hence, we classify this issue as NotInScope because handling all possible non-standard characters (e.g., invisible characters, Chinese characters, Tamil characters) would require accommodating an impractically wide range of Unicode inputs. It is neither feasible nor necessary for the application's intended scope.
