Strange characters

I'm sure I've done something stupid, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. After upgrading from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 the php editor code is printing the following characters before the editor:

ï»¿

I've looked at all the files that might make sense, but I can't figure it out, so any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

This looks like a binary UTF8 identification.
Look for EBCDIC and UTF-EBCDIC.

Yeah - I get exactly the same - haven't been able to figure it out either. I've had to drop back to 2.4.0 for the time being.

RE: Strange characters

add following to the top of the fckeditor.php

<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />

If will fix every where that you already included FCK

RE: Strange characters

I've been seeing that "ï»¿" thing lot recently in different scenarios with different code editors, but haven't had the issue with FCK. It even stops my php cart from working altogether when it appears. Other sites like the DNN ones don't seem to be bothered by it. Some tools such as Firefox web developer toolbar and Top Style expose it, whilst others such as Notepad and PSPad don't.

It's impossible to find anything about it on Google.

Very odd.
