>The extra character is a UTF-8 formatting character. If you see this it probably means that the page is not properly handling the content encoding. Make sure you're using UTF-8 encoding on the page (which is the default). If you're using something else I highly recommend you don't because browsers default to that as well and if it changes you can see odd behaviors at times for thing like caching for example.
Thanks, that site required iso-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. But, I will sell the idea back based on what you said. I assume you are making reference to the Meta tag content with the attribute text/html; charset=UTF-8.
