Bizarre Boxes can not explain

I have no idea how to explain  but I was talking with the client today and she was mentioning that there are weird little boxes next to her social media icons.

Firstly I design in Brave/Google and this is the first II have seen these...they seem to only appear in Safari apparently. Hoping one of the legends out there can help. From what I have seen this only happens with Code Block

Any advice would be great...this has been driving me crazy. I see where the problem is but I can not get the white space "Box Free" . I know it is going to be simple stupid but the brain has fried

The issue is your code block is contaminated with ASCII 20 (DC4) characters.

Between the </svg>  and </a> you show there is probably characters that aren't printing because they are special characters.

Select between the two end tags I mention and type delete.

Let us know how it goes.

thanks @creedon, yes removing the &#20;&#20;&#20;&#20;&#20; works, but I need to create 5 character spaces between the SVG files. 

worked thank you
