Depending on you definition of harmless, I'd randomly replace one character every 1000 with an alternative version, newlines from crlf to lf, spaces, even some printable characters have similar options in other languages

If you just replace letters with alternate versions of those letters, with different Unicode, wouldn’t it set off the spell checker?

Oh, that would be fun.

I was thinking more about source code, bash scripts won't run on Unix if you got a crlf and cli editors do not display them differently (by default). Python scripts needed a declaration on top to run with a certain encoding, but the error there is clearer. If you use them as string constants it's also going to just work internally but may break if you compare them with an external value
