This is about checkin [d8aa59fc17]. The "weird control character" is actually a BOM (Byte Order Mark - google it, everyone seems to get confused).
The BOM found its way into this file at [8748d75b5f], so sorry about that. What I did not know was that my Vim install has a plugin for something called flexwiki, and that plugin tells Vim to put the BOM in files with a .wiki extension. Aaargh! The trouble is that the BOM does not show up in a fossil diff, so unless you wonder why the first line is changed when you didn't, it's easy to miss. Aaaaaargh! Anyway the answer is to do ":set nobomb" in Vim before you do ":wq" (or else to lose the plugin before you start editing).
