Sharepoint - How to avoid invisible characters wiki numbered and bullet lists SharePoint 16.0.0.4508

The problem seems to be caused by using Chrome 46 to edit the SharePoint lists. If the page is created and maintained with IE 11, I'm not seeing the problem.

Once I found out the problem involves the &#8023 / U+200B Unicode character 'Zero Width Space'. Googling turned up some useful search results... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24205193/javascript-remove-zero-width-space-unicode-8203-from-string.

This appears to be some kind of defect in Microsoft SharePoint's RichText field.

The only workaround I've found so far is to manually remove the character using this process:

1. Use Chrome.
2. Access the wiki page with 8203 / U+200B.
3. Edit the wiki page.
4. CTRL+F to search for the text afflicted with 8203 / U+200B.
5. Press F2 to edit the text.
6. While carefully preserving the "" (quotation marks) surrounding the 8203 and the text, delete only the ​ unicode character 'Zero Width Space'.
7. Save the page.
