I cannot reproduce the problem. Could you test again without third-party plugins and a theme?

I’ve checked with Alternate and Classic themes — there are no visible characters

Hidden entities

But anyway HTML entity should be replaced with allowed character or escape sequence.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/string

Most characters can be represented literally. All characters can also be represented with their respective Unicode code points in hexadecimal, in which case they are preceded by a backslash (\). For example, \22 represents a double quote, \27 a single quote ('), and \A9 the copyright symbol (©).

Note: HTML entities (such as &nbsp; or &#8212;) cannot be used in a CSS <string>.
