Odd characters being inserted

I am using the latest version of CKEditor with Cold Fusion 9.
All of my database entries show a question mark inside a black box at the beginning.
I have a simple form with one textfield to test this out, and it still happens. It seems like a line break is being entered followed by a tab.

If I type the word test then click Source this is what it looks like.

test

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks

Re: Odd characters being inserted

If is causing problems in your database you can change it to <div> by adding the following code to your config.js file in the ckeditor root folder

config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_DIV;

If you prefer not to wrap your text in anything, you can add this code:

config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;

The latter isn't recommended. More on on this in our API here.

I think that his question is about the new line and indent used in the source formatting instead of the wrapping , so he should read this topic: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/H ... TML_Output

This was exactly what I needed.
I understand that it makes the code more readable, but it is inserting these characters into the database too.

Anyhow, I added the fix you provided the link to.

Thank you.
