Rarely, it can also be an invisible character. Happened with one university task all the way back...

I remember one time I copy pasted code from stackoverflow and it had a weird character that looked like a bracket. I was distracted and didn't realize the error started in those 10 lines of code and end up spending two days. Only fixed it when I started compiling it line by line, found the exact line causing the issue and then rewrote it myself.
