1. You can Save as UTF8 in Windows Notepad. 2. The BOM (Byte-Order-Mark) is a special two-byte prefix that is usually used with UTF16 to determine whether the two bytes of each 16-bit code are big-endian or little-endian. Some products (including Windows Notepad) also put a BOM on the front of UTF8 streams. Some software is hostile to it being there, other software accepts it and recognizes the following code as UTF8 anyhow. You ran into a hostile case.
Since you don't see the BOM (it is on front of the file but is not treated as a character), and you are on Windows, you need a text editor that doesn't produce them and also discards any that it encounters. I recommend an HTML editor. If you prefer text raw editing, I think jEdit will work for. It is a Java application, available on SourceForge. The Windows version of gedit will also save text in UTF8. That probably doesn't produce a BOM. (It is difficult to know if one is there or not without looking at the beginning of the file in a hex editor/viewer.) - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Reizinger Zoltán [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 22:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: svn commit: r1336368 - /incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/hu/brand.mdtext 2012.05.09. 23:02 keltezéssel, Dave Fisher írta: > On May 9, 2012, at 1:28 PM, Reizinger Zoltán wrote: > >> I'm not programmer and try to change Hungarian site. >> What is the BOM? >> >> In this environment hard to me to do any useful work changing the Hungarian >> site to useful format. >> I will stop doing it. > I'd like to understand how that bad character was added.

I used win7 notepad first(it was coded as ASCII, which is wrong if I need to use accented characters, but I not was aware to this). In second case in Notepad ++ when I converted from ASCII coding to UTF-8, and I think it was correctly coded, possibly I needs to be aware to another settings, which I don't know.
