I can't figure out why EndsWith is returning false.
I have the C# code:
string heading = "yakobusho";
bool test = (heading == "yakobusho");
bool back = heading.EndsWith("sho");
bool front = heading.StartsWith("yak");
bool other = "yakobusho".EndsWith("sho");
Debug.WriteLine("heading = " + heading);
Debug.WriteLine("test = " + test.ToString());
Debug.WriteLine("back = " + back.ToString());
Debug.WriteLine("front = " + front.ToString());
Debug.WriteLine("other = " + other.ToString());
The output is:
heading = yakobusho
test = True
back = False
front = True
other = True

The "sho" string in the third line starts with a zero length space. "sho".Length returns 4 while ((int)"sho"[0]) returns 8203, the Unicode value of the zero length space.
You can type it in a string using its hex code, eg :
"x200Bsho"
Annoyingly, that character isn't considered whitespace so it can't be removed with String.Trim().

This contains an invisible character before the "sho" string:
bool back = heading.EndsWith("sho");
The corrected line:
bool back = heading.EndsWith("sho");

As you can see from this code:
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string heading = "yakobusho";
string yourText = "sho";
bool back = heading.EndsWith(yourText);
Debug.WriteLine("back = " + back.ToString());
Debug.WriteLine("yourText length = " + yourText.Length);
string newText = "sho";
bool backNew = heading.EndsWith(newText);
Debug.WriteLine("backNew = " + backNew.ToString());
Debug.WriteLine("newText length = " + newText.Length);
OUTPUT:
back = False
yourText length = 4
backNew = True
newText length = 3
The length of yourText is 4 and so there is some hidden character in this string.
Hope this helps.

Debug.WriteLine("newText length = " + newText.Length);
OUTPUT:
back = False
yourText length = 4
backNew = True
newText length = 3
The length of yourText is 4 and so there is some hidden character in this string.
Hope this helps.
