I've just built a couple of pages using UTF encoding, rather than

thing, but it happens with the online version as well... This
character is not evident when Viewing Source with any other browser -
or in the HTML file.
HTML is written with BBEdit; I've set prefs to save files as UTF-8
(tried with and without BOM - makes no difference).
First thing I thought when reading your message: BOM. And indeed, it is
there.
I remember, when I still used BBEdit @version 7, I had a hard time
getting rid of it. I think you have to set it first in the application
prefs, save without BOM, before opening any document.
