Command curl not found, even though it is installed

Question

First I've installed curl:

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ apt install curl
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt install curl
[sudo] password for company: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
curl is already the newest version (7.68.0-1ubuntu2.7).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 552 not upgraded.

Then I tried to use it:

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ ​curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'

Command '​curl' not found, did you mean:

  command 'curl' from deb curl (7.68.0-1ubuntu2.7)

Try: apt install <deb name>

As you can see it still says "Command '​curl' not found".

If I execute it with the full path like this:

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ /usr/bin/curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'

then it works

More Informations:

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ whereis curl
curl: /usr/bin/curl /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ echo $PATH
/home/company/.nvm/versions/node/v17.8.0/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

Answer 1

I don't know why, but after calling it with

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ /usr/bin/curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'

now suddenly this works too:

company@rb-VirtualBox:~$ curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'

UPDATE:

As @jesse_b assumed correctly in the comments, it is because I copied the command from a website and some fishy characters like \r or \n where included, which were causing the error.
