.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
Given the following minimal example:
documentclassarticle
begindocument
$a star b$.
enddocument
This produces the desired output in the PDF file.
However, my problem is that if I search in the PDF file (with CTRL-F) for the questionmark character "?" (without quotation marks), that this specific star symbol is found by the search engine as if it were a questionmark (although it is a star).
This is annoying, because I like to search my final PDF for questionmarks in order to find outdated labels/citations etc. quickly. If there are lots of symbols like star, that are found as "false positives", this workflow gets tedious and error prone.
Question: Is there a way to fix this issue? I want to use symbols like star in my document but I don't want to find them in the final PDF when searching for questionmarks.
