Button won't click even though iI can see itsit's taking me to the save button when doing automation

My code which takes me to the button and highlights it. (I'm running java scripts within Eclipse)

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Save')]")).click();

My HTML code

<button data-v-7405e096="" type="button" class="pull-right btn btn-primary">Save</button>

The error

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //button[contains(text(),'Save'‌​)] because of the following error: SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '//button[contains(text(),'Save'‌​)]' is not a valid XPath expression
