Description
Recently I encountered a problem with one of my posts where Wordpress failed to process some of the shortcodes. After hours of digging I found that one shortcode contains no-breaking space as separator between shortcode name and parameters.
[myshortcode\xc2\xa0param="...
Seems like somebody used external editor to edit post content and then pasted it into wp's editor.
I used following quick fix to permit this problem in future :
add_filter( 'the_content', function( $text ) { return str_replace( "\xc2\xa0", " ", $text ); }, 0, 1);
I think, it's not very good approach. Thus the question to core developers to fix this in shortcode parsing functions.
