I'm not certain where the error is coming from, but the problem is it's trying to assemble a table or column name with a unicode character in it. `\u200b` is a "zero width space". If you've recently changed a name in the config, I'd ensure there are no errant characters in there, perhaps inserted by a rich text editor or similar.
