Strange symbol (envelope sign) appears at the end of pasted text (including HEX color code copied)
Example Copy/paste text:
Why does the envelope sign appear when I copy
text from somewhere else and paste it into
illustrator?

In the latest version of Illustrator we can press the hash number symbol in the Color panel (and Swatch Options dialog) to copy the code as text into buffer.
However, a strange symbol gets added to the end of the text when you directly paste it on the canvas.
It does not get pasted when you create a text object first. It does not get transferred to other apps, so I have no idea even what the character it is.

Enisio is right. The symbol appears only when pasted directly on canvas, and not in the existing object or a field.

I noticed something while testing. It happens when I paste the text directly. But when I open a text field and paste it into it, there is no problem. Strange problem. As in video. -
I confirm
