I run a very simple html site; the charset is UTF-8 but I don’t necessary know what that means but it seems relevant as per other related questions. I looked up another similar question but it dealt in php and also dealt with character substitution whereas mine is more random addition albeit always in the same places. I wrote the text for the page in Word and this causes problems in HTML as I have found out before but I’ve converted it to plain text and the character reappears in the same places. I copied the HTML text, deleted the character in a new plain text copy, and the character still reappears in those same places when I paste it and re-upload the page. What could be the problem?

    Some quick advises:

    1. Do not use Word for html creating/editing;
    2. UTF-8 Wikipedia is encoding for the characters that are not present in ASCII. It is very important on sites which use a language different from English;
    3. The problem could be caused by BOM Wikipedia. Use Notepad++, you can set the encoding to UTF-8 without BOM.
