Validation error for field ‘post_content’

Turns out the issue was Unicode Character ‘LINE TABULATION’ (U+000B). This is a valid UTF-8 Character but not a valid XML Character and therefore not valid for Cloud Search. I Just went through and deleted the offending text from the DB but it would be nice if the plugin could parse for these things and remove or delete them. If it was just this one you could just change this function:

function acs_put_documents( $docs ) {
    try {
        // Get client
        $client = acs_get_domain_client();
        $docs = json_encode( $docs );
        $docs = str_replace("\u000b","",$docs);
        // Upload documents
        $result = $client->uploadDocuments( array(
            'documents' => $docs,
            'contentType' => 'application/json'
        ) );

        // Return result
        return $result->getPath( 'status' ) == 'success';
    }
    catch ( \Exception $e ) {
	    error_log( __( 'Error uploading documents', ACS::PREFIX ) . ': ' . $e->getMessage() );

        return false;
    }
}

but I’m guessing there are others that could be an issue. At first, I did this ^ but I don’t like modifying core plugin files so I opted to go back and just delete the offending text and hope it stays gone. It also would be nice if it threw a more visible error if the documents did not sync. For now, it just throws an error to the admin log. Anyway, just some possible future enhancement suggestions and maybe this can help if someone else encounters this error. It took me a long time to figure it out.
