(Note that Jeanette instructed Adan to fix the Abstract in Argo, and he has. Now it displays as a blob of text.)
In the abstract of SDR records, we're displaying the encoding for line breaks and whitespace characters in 4.0. I checked -morison, and we had a better display in 3.3.
Example record w/screenshot:

vs
https://searchworks-morison.stanford.edu/view/zs304tj5371 (same record in SW3.3)
Another example:

https://searchworks-morison.stanford.edu/view/cz789ms7413 (same record in SW3.3)
This seems to be happening when the depositor has copy and pasted from a PDF into the Abstract field. "Real" line breaks are displaying fine, but we're seeing encoding if there is markup that came along in that copy/paste action.
SDR folks will try to educate depositors that they should be careful of copy/paste, but it's likely it will continue to happen. I'm hopeful that we have code already 🤞 to remove the encodings from displaying.
