package inputenc error: unicode character ⨼ (u+223c)(inputenc) not set up for use with latex.

Really a painstaking, and RIDICULOUS error...Here are my debugging steps:

1. The error is registered at the line after \printbibliography. I initially thought it might be due to there is some hid symbol on that line. So I deleted that line, no use. Further deleted all contents below till \end{document}, same error.

2. Searching on web some ppl said such error could be due to there are symbols in the bib file which are unrecognizable to Latex. Then I searched \u233c in my bib (you have to use Extended Mode if using Notepad++) and I did found that symbol and deleted all of them. But still, such change made no difference.

3. I then tried the following steps:

a. deleting all contents in the bib file.

b. deleting all contents in the tex file between \start{document} and \printbibiography.

c. adding \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{223c}{{}}.

All to no avial! This drove me crazy now...

4. Then I realized that I once read that the derived files could make the errors persistent. So I threw all derived file (.aux, .bbl, etc) into Recycle Bin. The error was gone!!!
