Lately I was having an issue in the org to html conversion where the newline
characters got appended with funky unicode characters.

Full detail is in [this][s1] reddit post I started.

The fix was to add the following code after the line `(funcall lang-mode)` in
the `org-html-fontify-code` defun in `ox-html.el`.

```elisp
(when (require 'fill-column-indicator nil 'noerror)
    (fci-mode -1))
```

*Make sure you delete ox-html.elc else your patched ox-html.el won't be effective.*
