Vim inserts invisible strange characters which result in a syntax error

Occasionally when using vim, invisible characters are inserted which result in a syntax error. When I delete the line and rewrite it it works.

In my case RubyMine also states that an error exists in this line. In basically makes vim a pain because it inserts invisible bugs in my code.

I'm using Mac with zsh as my shell. Furthermore I'm using vim installed using homebrew

If this problem occurs with anyone else, it was the ALT/OPTION + SPACE key on MacOS that created this problem and not related to vim or zsh at all.
