Swift developers should use the native replacing(_:with:) method instead of replacingOccurrences(of:with:) to avoid Unicode-related bugs.

This can cause bizarre string mutations where replacing non-existent characters produces unexpected results. The Swift-native replacing method honors Unicode fully, is shorter to write, and likely faster.
