binary file editor

[Robert Moskowitz]

For F28, I am looking for a file editor that when I paste from the 
clipboard, I can see any special characters.

I am having problems with a web form copy to clipboard.  You can see at 
test page at:

http://www.htt-consult.com/button2.html

In Firefox on my F28 system, there is a character copied to the 
clipboard that is in front of the sed command of line 1 that displays in 
mousepad and geany as a space.

When I paste it into Libre Word, I get the text in a bunch of boxes.

I want to know what that character really is to figure out what is wrong 
with my java script.

BTW, I have been told that Chrome does not put any character in front of 
the sed command on the copy button.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Paste into vim, position the cursor under the character in question and hit
:ga for ASCII and :g8 for UTF-8

SPOILER: It's a space.

And I see it in FireFox, but not in Chrome.

So 'all' I have to do is figure out how to add the trim() function to my 
script.  Either before the copy to clipboard or act on the clipboard.

Much easier said than done.  :(
