there appears some funny
characters.

ÃÂÂ<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

This is another Microsoft "invention" - BOM marker used to recognize UTF-8 files.
ByteOrderMarker makes no sense in UTF-8.
Notepad and other MS-tools silently insert it in all UTF-8 files, making them invalid.


This breaks HTML validation, causes trash in some browsers and breaks PHP4 buffering...

Use Notepad2 for unicode - http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html
