Weird characters showing up all over my text

This is embedded in my text and causing issues with searches.

<0xa0>

ST just shows the text as-is. If you want to render it as a whitespace, use "none"

	// Controls how non-ascii white space is drawn.
	// - "none": Draw unicode white space verbatim, eg. hiding zero-width
	//           spaces.
	// - "punctuation": Draw codepoints of unicode white space defined as
	//                  punctuation. This includes NBSP, but excludes the CJK
	//                  Ideographic Space.
	// - "all": Draw codepoints of all non-ascii space characters.
	"draw_unicode_white_space": "punctuation",

However, 0xa0 (NBSP) is in fact 0xa0 anyway.
