Here s my 2 cents  I had the same problem and I tried using Notepad   to convert to UTF-8 no BOM  and also the old  copy to MS notepad then back again  trick  all to no avail  My problem was solved by making sure all files  and  included  files  were the same file system  I had some files that were Windows format and some that had been copied off a remote Linux server  so were in UNIX format

If you are using Notepad     Menu      Encoding      Convert to UTF-8  your  include  files

The character in question  amp  65279 is the Unicode Character  ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE   U FEFF   It may be that you copied it into your code via a copy paste without realizing it  The fact that it s not visible makes it hard to tell if you re using an editor that displays actual unicode characters   One option is to open the file in a very basic text editor that doesn t understand unicode  or one that understands it but has the ability to display any non-ascii characters using their actual codes   Once you locate it  you can delete the small block of text around it and retype that text manually

I don t know why this is happening   Well I have just run into a possible cause -  Your HTML page is being assembled from separate files  Perhaps you have files which only contain the body or banner portion of your final page  Those files contain a BOM  0xFEFF  marker  Then as part of the merge process you are running HTML tidy or xmllint over the final merged HTML file   That will cause it
