Hello:
Recently, I found that when dictating in Notes on iOS, (running iOS 13.5.1 on an iPhone SE second generation), if I put items separated by new lines, VoiceOver will insert a character it calls "attachment" at the end of the document. It is invisible to sighted users, and is discoverable when navigating via word or character through a note. It occurs only when dictating. If I turn off Voiceover speech and use dictation, the insertion still occurs. When I delete this character, VoiceOver is silent and won't announce that it has been deleted. can anyone replicate this, and if so, is there a remedy to fix this? Typing manually and inserting new lines is the only way I have found thus far to get around this problem.

would love an answer for this as well
I just wanted to add that in my experience, this behavior is not unique to the notes app. I get the attatchment characters when dictating on Facebook. There are also a number of other annoying dictation glitches in facebook, such as the fact that it seemingly inserts text whereever it wants as opposed to at the end of your document, and it also randomly duplicates text for no reason I've ever been able to determine. I am truly hoping for better things in iOS 14, but for now, I will be watching this thread to see if anyone has any solutions to the phantom attatchment characters issue.
This happens when I dictate too.
I think it's been around for quite a while.
Same Here!
I too have been getting this odd "attachment" character that appears on Facebook, Facebook Messenger and the iPhone's own Messages app. I do believe that it's been around for quite a long while, maybe even in iOS 12.
I would love to find out how to disable this so this character never shows up again.
chances are you can't
and it's a bug that apple might fix in the next IOS update, who knwos with apple though.
The Iphone is great but it does take apple quite a while to fix basic things like this.
