Is "Lsep" appearing in a type block due to a database cache issue on Webflow?

"Lsep" appearing in a type block is not caused by a Webflow database cache issue. It typically results from hidden or pasted-in invisible characters, specifically Line Separator (U+2028) or other Unicode control codes.

1. Understand What "Lsep" Is

• "Lsep" is a known placeholder or visible representation of the Unicode Line Separator (U+2028).
• It often appears when hidden formatting characters are pasted into Webflow from word processors (like Word or Pages) or rich text editors.

2. Why It Happens in Webflow

• Webflow uses a browser-based editor that may expose hidden characters from pasted content.
• Webflow doesn't sanitize certain Unicode characters the way some CMSes do, so "Lsep" can show up in published text if these characters are present.

3. How to Fix It

• Edit the content block directly in Webflow (Designer or CMS Editor) and manually delete any invisible text characters.
• Alternatively, paste the intended content into a plain text editor (like Notepad, VS Code, or TextEdit in plain text mode) first to remove hidden formatting, then copy it into Webflow.
• If it's happening in a CMS item, open the CMS item field, delete and retype the text manually or clean the content using a plain text intermediary.

4. Prevent Future Occurrences

• Avoid copying text directly from formatted sources such as Google Docs, MS Word, or web pages into Webflow.
• Use plain-text tools to clean content before pasting into Webflow CMS or Rich Text Blocks.

Summary

"Lsep" is caused by invisible Unicode characters accidentally pasted into Webflow—not by a cache or database bug. Clean or retype the affected content to remove these characters and prevent them from displaying on your site.
