Oh god pasting code from a PDF, that brings me back.

Doesn't your editor handle that? I don't exactly remember but I kinda remember having a button to convert pasted characters to ascii (mostly used for those annoying stylized unicode quotes)

Apparently Atom didn't/doesn't have that feature, at least to automatically display when problematic characters are present. I believe I ended up taking a hex editor to my code to see what was wrong, since it was only a single loop that appeared to stop the compilation.
