A worked example
A tab between two words appears as ⇥, while CRLF is counted as one line break.

· = ASCII space · ⇥ = tab · ↵ = line ending · CRLF is one break. Zero-width cleanup can change emoji or writing systems.
Plain text only · 100,000 characters per input. Line diff: 1,200 lines; character diff: 1,500 Unicode code points. No semantic or fuzzy comparison.
THE METHOD / 01
A clear wayfrom start to finish.
Space = ·, tab = ⇥ and each line ending = ↵. Cleanup targets U+200B/U+200C/U+200D/U+2060/U+FEFF only.
Keep the assumptions clear
Some zero-width characters affect scripts and emoji sequences. Inspect the preview and download a copy before replacing an original.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Good to know.
Are my inputs uploaded?
No. Processing runs locally in your browser. The host still receives normal requests for website pages and assets.
Can I keep my result?

Do I need an account?
No sign-up, paid API or subscription is required. Both languages use the same tools. English always opens at the root address.
