   linked to zotpress, or jquery. But it appear only on my zotpress page:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Uncaught SyntaxError: JSON.parse: bad Unicode escape at line 1 column 57172 of the JSON data    <anonymous> https://xxx.fr/wp-content/plugins/zotpress/js/zotpress.shortcode.bib.min.js?ver=6.7.2:1    jQuery 2    <anonymous> https://xxx.fr/wp-content/plugins/zotpress/js/zotpress.shortcode.bib.min.js?ver=6.7.2:1    jQuery 13e        t        setTimeout handler*Deferred/then/l/<        c        fireWith        fire        c        fireWith        ready        P        EventListener.handleEvent*        <anonymous>        <anonymous>zotpress.shortcode.bib.min.js:1:2426    <anonyme> https://umr-marbec.fr/wp-content/plugins/zotpress/js/zotpress.shortcode.bib.min.js?ver=6.7.2:1    jQuery 2    <anonyme> https://umr-marbec.fr/wp-content/plugins/zotpress/js/zotpress.shortcode.bib.min.js?ver=6.7.2:1
