Good guess, but probably not the right one. U+201D is not a control character, and I suppose the quotation marks are really U+0022, just with slanted glyphs (naughty font!). The clue seems to be the character “↩” in the error message. It seems that it indicates a line break inside the href attribute value. And the problem can be reconstructed by using such a value. So the fix is simply to remove the line break there. It makes the HTML source line inconveniently long, but there’s no way to avoid that if the URL is long. P.S. Posting the URL of the page being validated would have saved us from some guessing. Yucca
