What is the issue you’re encountering

I copy a text file (without BOM) from Notepad++ to the clipboard in the TXT field for DKIM. After saving some strange quotes and a space appear. And of course this entry becomes invalid. What’s the problem?

After i deleted a few characters to the left and right of the problem area and then saved again the problem came back!

This isn’t a problem; it’s part of how TXT records are stored in the DNS. Some providers hide the quotes, but TXT records consist of strings of up to 255 bytes each. Anything longer than that needs to be split up.

Ok, but validaror said “The public key contains invalid characters. DKIM record should not contain whitespace characters”.
And brevo.com displays my DKIM signature as “default” (not valid).
What should I do?..

What validator?

Can you share a screenshot of that?

Absolutely nothing, assuming the details you have given above are correct.

The DKIM on the “x._domainkey” TXT record is currently holding a perfectly VALID 2048-bit RSA key.
