Error is formatted incorrectly when 0-width characters are in use. #572
Description
I know this is nitpicky but I felt it important to point out in case this is supposed to be supported.
Here is an example error:
Failed to parse message:
1:1:
|
1 | <empty line>
| ^
<pure>:1:64:
|
1 | 34=149=XXXX_XXX_XXXX52=20240930-15:03:41.83656=XXXXX.TEST57=XXXXX.XXX298=0108=3010=198
| ^
Unknown field tag: 57
As you can see, the ^ is pointing at the wrong character.
I think this is because there are invisible (0-width) \SOH characters inbetween fields.

This has caused the ^ position marker to disappear from some error messages. Eg "unexpected newline at end of line" errors - extremely common in hledger's parsers - now render with no pointer at all.

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I will release a version with a fix later today.
