The issue is still here, but when I remove the three characters and press backspace a fourth time it comes back. Not sure if that is helpful but I decided to share it.
It also appears if I press enter, so still unsure what is causing this. Can it be an issue just on my account?

It has happened to me but mainly on my cellular phone. I haven't experienced it on my desktop "YET"

When I disable markup, it doesn't appear. So it has to do with the WYISG editor?

On mobile there is no WYSIWIG unless you are in Desktop Mode of view full version. I will show you what I see on my phone.

This is Webview via Android
The following is Mobile View in Google Chrome Browser
This one is the full version in desktop mode.
See the differences?

Also, I decided to eat my browser cookies and the issue is gone again...

It is known that it is here again. (Character Encoding) windows-1252 vs utf8
It has to do with Encoding the website as well Windows uses UTF-16 / windows-1252 or there is more options when creating the page or coding the page for display.
Charset most sites if not new were UTF-8
As well there is s fix which is turn your Charset to UTF-8 but that would be degrading the install and is not as easy as it once was.

I know that red named moderator is working on a fix and that it's gone again.
Not sure what you're all saying, but you sound like a nerd.
