Can't reproduce non-contextualized responses the certification says my skill returns

The certification feedback email indicates that my skill returns non-contextualized responses to example phrases I provided. However, I tried several times by copying and pasting the exact same phrases from the email and my skill always returns a correct response. I'm wondering what might be causing this behavior. Thank you very much for any suggestions!

It sounds like you are testing your skill in Service Simulator. While this is a very useful tool for testing your JSON, it does not test your skill's interaction model. Please test your skill on a device or echosim.io to get an accurate idea of how it will perform once live. You might want to check out our documentation on Returning a Response, as well. If you're still having issues reproducing your feedback, feel free to raise a Contact Us case so we can look up your skill and give you specific assistance! Thanks!

Thank you! This was indeed the case. Some symbols are not pronounceable. However, the Service Simulator should be able to detect and warn in these cases. That would make it more useful.
