Command line MSBuild fails to compile code

Question

Can anyone tell me why command-line msbuild fails to build this code?

public SourceControlHandler(string sourceControlUser = null, string sourceControlPassword = null, string sourceControlDomain = null)
        {    
            var client = new SvnClient();
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(SourceControlUser) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(SourceControlPassword))
            {
                client.Authentication.Clear();
                client.Authenticatio​n.UserNameHandlers += delegate (object sender, Sv​nUserNameEventArgs e)
                {
                    e.UserName = SourceControlUser;
                };
            _svnClient = client;
        }

The errors are:

Visual Studio 2015 has no issues compiling it and the code is not throwing any run-time errors. The listed code starts at line 38. Therefore MSBuild/CSC is complaining - first error - about the second dot in: client.Authenticatio​n.UserNameHandlers;

Ideas?

You have a not displayable character in Authentication between o and n . You can see it when playing with arrow keys on keyboard.
