When I copy text it adds a ? symbol

Hello,
I have created a coder app. It generates visual basic code from user prompt.
The generated code looks perfect in Pickaxe window.
But when I copy/paste it, it pastes with a ? symbol

For example

Code in Pickaxe:

Sub MyMacro Test ()
Macro code here
End Sub

Then I copy this code using copy icon from Pickaxe.
And when I paste it in my code editor window, it adds a ? symbol

? Sub MyMacro Test ()
Macro code here
End Sub

This dirtyes the code and generates an error when I run it.
I have tried with different AI models and it is the same…

Seems like a Pickaxe bug

Can you help me?

Thanks!

This is indeed a mystery. Do you have a link to the tool where you are experiencing this issue? I would like to investigate.

Hello, you can test it here:

After submitting, use the copy icon. I noticed that when I paste into a notepad, it works fine. However, pasting into my code editor adds a ‘?’ at the beginning. This doesn’t happen when I copy/paste code from ChatGPT, as it pastes the code correctly in my editor.

Very strange. I copy/pasted the output into gmail, google docs, and this community forum and I didn’t get the question mark.

Do you only get it in the notepad app, or everywhere?
