Whitespace character “u200B” is added to the text property when a TMP_Text component is assigned as the text component property on a TMP_InputField

How to reproduce:
1. Open the user’s attached “TMPCharacter.zip” project
2. Enter Play Mode
3. Observe the “Input Text String” log in the Console window

Expected result: “Length: 0, WhiteSpace: True” is logged
Actual result: “Length: 1, WhiteSpace: False” is logged

Reproducible with: 3.0.6 (2021.3.32f1), 4.0.0-pre.2 (2022.3.13f1, 2023.1.20f1, 2023.2.0f1, 2023.3.0a14)

Reproduced on: macOS 13.5.2 (Intel)
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

Notes:

• not reproducible when the TMP_Text component is assigned as the InputField component property on a TMP_InputField
• false is returned when logging “char.IsWhiteSpace”
• text is not properly trimmed from the string when using “string.Trim”
