Toon, I don't use firefox, zo I tried Opera and . . . no BOM.

So it must be a Firefox problem. I say that because I was lead to believe that Opera is very strict in using html standards.

In firefox it's steill there but in in IE it isn't.

I haven't pasted any text and it shows in multiple sites that I changed in the last few days?

Why it shows now and not in the past... I don't know.
Something changed in DHE upgrade?

Hello Toon,


If I go to your site the problem seems fixed. So?

Anyway, what you see is the bite Byte order mark (BOM) for a UTF-8 file. If you check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark There's this description of the BOM.

The UTF-8 representation of the BOM is the byte sequence 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF, which appears as the ISO-8859-1 characters ? in most text editors and web browsers not prepared to handle UTF-8.

So I think the browser believes it's showing a "ISO-8859-1" file and you used UTF-8 encoding.

It doesn't appear now anymore because of this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

It usually occurs where some text has been pasted in to a text box/area instead of being typed in directly. Usually apostrophe, question mark, or dash (hyphen) etc.

I find the best thing to do with copied text is to paste it into notepad first, and then copy and past into DHE.

Hope this helps

Not fixed, only on Firefox, not on IE i see.
I had this also ones, experiment with Doctype or "Lettertype" ; US/Western European ISO...

Or watch this issue: http://www.hexagora.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1580&SearchTerms=%EF%BB%BF,
