Yes, yes I did. After seeing this, I tried copy-pasting a non-break 
space and using find/replace to replace them with normal spaces, but it 
seems as though the text editor doesn't differentiate between non-break 
spaces and normal ones, as it was telling me that every space was a 
non-break space, even after I replaced them. I am still getting the 
error. This sounds plausible, though, are there any other characters 
that, coming from websites, break Ruby?

I've been using Textedit, if that's any help, in plain text mode. Though 
honestly, I have no clue what you're talking about.
