Bug Description
Maybe this is similar to #168152, but that's supposedly fixed, and this is still happening
Text objects somehow got what appeared to be ctrl-K in them, possibly as a result of cut and paste from Publisher in Windows. Files saved ok, but would not load.
PCDATA invalid Char value
was the message from command line use.
I think it's important that Inkscape not create unloadable files, particularly in a case like this where the flaw can be introduced after a lot of work had been done, and there's no warning until the next attempt to load the file, when it's too late.
A popup saying bad chars were stripped from text objects would be much nicer.
Cheers -Terry

can you provide which version of inkscape you are using, your operating system and maybe a sample file that exhibits this behaviour? it just makes it a lot easier to test / classify and troubleshoot...
