Execjs throws exception when source contains Unicode whitespace about uglifier HOT 5 CLOSED

Your issue seems to be that the source contains an ideographic space character outside string (that's the unexpected character). Browsers interpret this as whitespace, but UglifyJS doesn't recognize it.

For reference, see http://simon.html5.org/dump/ecmascript-whitespace.txt

from uglifier.

What's the best way to search in the source for this ideographic space character?

@jravetch: Using the search feature of your favourite text editor. In vim: /<C-k>IS<return>

from uglifier.

@jravetch There's a ideographic space in the error report you posted. As suggested, you can use text editor to find this or alternatively, if you're using Git and have UTF-8 enabled terminal, git grep '　'

I'll post a patch to UglifyJS today.

Perfect! Found the offending UTF-8 whitespace character, changed to normal whitespace and uglifier works! Thanks again.
