I once fixed a bug in credit card payment form because someone had gotten some formatting character screwed up and used a capital M in some place where a lower case m should have been. Since it was a payment system they couldn’t take payment for a while whilst that was screwed up. I was contracting there and happened to notice it. Sometimes all it takes is one character.
