Incorrect UTF characters in: date.js and date.min.js about moment-timezone HOT 5 CLOSED

Dear Gilmore,
thank you very much for your explanation and your hint to download that latest version of WP (sorry for not seeing this way in my confusion). Your expectation was right: The files in WP are okay. Something else must have corrupted my files.

Hi, this project is not associated with Wordpress, and doesn't produce any files called date.js or date.min.js.
My guess is that there is a separate project/plugin that includes this library, and that's what's adding the invalid characters.

To double-check this, try loading just a file produced by this project and see if the problem remains. Here are some examples:

• https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment-timezone-with-data-10-year-range.js
• https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment-timezone-with-data-10-year-range.min.js

from moment-timezone.

Dear Gilmore, thank you very much for your reply. In both files I found the following:
//! version : 0.5.40
//! Copyright (c) JS Foundation and other contributors
//! license : MIT
//! github.com/moment/moment-timezone
The fourth line is pointing to this page.
The path of the two files is /wp-includes/js/dist/.
I'm wondering if any plugin may write into /wp-includes/?
In the code I also find an error message referring to https://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/. There I find a link to this Github Page.
Since the files refer to momentjs I will try to find some contact there.
Thanks, Thomas

I downloaded a fresh copy of Wordpress to take a look. Yes, the date.js file includes both the moment and moment-timezone libraries, which are both part of the Moment group of projects (so raising a separate ticket for momentjs.com doesn't add anything). But the process that includes them in Wordpress is handled entirely by Wordpress, not this group.

Did you try opening either of the links I posted in my first reply?

I also suggest you download a fresh copy of Wordpress from https://wordpress.org/download/ and open the same date.js file in your editor. If that doesn't have a problem, then something else is corrupting your project, and it isn't caused by the source code in these libraries.

As for whether something else is writing to wp-includes, I have to repeat: This project is not associated with Wordpress in any way. We can't and won't provide support for unrelated software.
