Validation Error, Byte-Order Mark found in UTF-8 File? Options

[sunshine07]

I just ran my site through the HTML validator, and I got a warning about the UTF-8 encoded files. I don't know how I can get rid of this warning! Can someone please help me? Here's the validation link of my site - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%...ine&group=0

You should be using:

CODE

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

Which is supports the characters in the western European language.

No -- because the file is UTF-8, so the OP should be using a UTF-8 encoding.

The issue is that many Windows file editors put a byte-order marker (BOM) at the beginning of a file to say, "Hey, this is UTF-8." But that's not really necessary or supported in all browsers/text editors, so you should remove it, but it's not really necessary.
