Strange ERROR - Oops! We ran into some problems.

Hi friends,

I am using XenForo® v2.3.4 at the moment, I noticed a strange sitation.
When I was trying to post a new thread, I got this Oops! We ran into some problems. error, I know its common issue for so many people as I search on the internet lots of topics are available online about this issue.

The reason I am saying, strange is because I pasted a thread copied it from chatgpt. When I tried to submit the thread, I got this Oops error, when I posted another new content inside, it posted and worked without any error.

Again I edited that thread and pasted the previous content, it again gave me that Oops! error.
So I removed the middle few lines from the content and submitted and thread was submitted. But as soon I revert those two lines, the forum gives Oops error.

Those two lines are not emoji or javascript or something, its normal content. I am going to paste those lines here, which are causing this Oops error.
So, its so strange why forum does not accept these lines? What's the reason?
Below are the lines forum won't accept.

I started learning (the hard way) that owning an African Grey isn’t just about having a “talking bird” — it’s about understanding a little feathered genius with big emotions, strong opinions, and an even stronger beak. From food experiments to bite marks and mimicked phone calls, every day is an adventure.

It's a server side security mechanism.

XF 2.2 Thread 'Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser console.'

This comes up time and time again so a sticky thread is in order.

If you encounter this error message and you are using a computer (rather than a mobile device), access the browser console (F12 if using Windows / Chrome).

Select the Console tab and there should be an error message displayed, something like this:

403_error.png

Code: 
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

PHP: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD        core-compiled.js?_v=4282e784:42

<title>403 Forbidden</title>

<h1>Forbidden</h1>

Thanks your reply.
If you see in my screenshot, there is no error like 403 or HTTP 500 error.

I found why this happened.

I tried to remove one by one each word from those lines and found out whenever I have "talking bird” in my line, my forum gives Oops error
if I make it like talking bird” then it does not give error, if I make it like talking bird then also does not give error BUT if I make it like "talking bird then gives error.

PLEASE HELP!!!

I'd assume it doesn't like the encoding of the quotes around talking bird. So my suspicions would be be around UTF8 compatibility with the underlying database tables/columns, ie those quotes are shiny posh (U+201C) quotes not boring old ASCII range ones (U+0022).
