      Notes

      • There might be other characters causing this error

      Workaround

      • Review the latest Redis history of the room for a file with an unusual Unicode encoded character
        redis-cli LRANGE history:room:1_<room_name_from_db> 0 -1 | jq .
        
      • Ask the user who uploaded the file to delete through the web UI
