U+000B LINE TABULATION*: ␋ – Unicode – CodepointsI expect the bill reference has been copied from another source, such as a
word document or PDF?
Often this is how we find hidden, unexpected characters, making their way
into API requests.Sanitising the bill reference to remove the vertical tab should resolve
your problem.Hope this helps,
