Fix InvalidCharacterError

in Next.js

Solution

This error, InvalidCharacterError: Invalid character, typically arises in Next.js when route segments or group names contain characters outside the Latin-1 character set, a regression in Next 15. To fix it, ensure all your route segment and group folder names exclusively use standard ASCII characters. Avoid special characters, accents, or non-English alphabets in these directory names to prevent the error.
