Weird Error (  ) in GLinks templates system
Today while working on GLinks template design I noticed a weird design.

For whatever reason GLinks was added "" in every template, right at the top, before all other codes. I tried fixing the error by re-uploading the pages via ftp, cpanel, and also to make sure that error is not caused by HTML editor, I fired up notepad for editing the code. However "" were not visible anywhere and last but not least, I called up page via browser using page.cgi?p=pagename but still it was normal. However when I try to edit the page online via GLinks editor or use the page in design mode (using include function to display content inside other page) it inserts  on every page.

I was able to fix the problem by changing
<
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
to
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

However what concerns me, why does the appear in the first place. Any idea about if the problem is with my GLinks installation or with GLinks code?

Thanks.

It's apparently a windows thing:

Yeah I did noticed that before changing the charset. However I am still wondering, why would the error appear only on Software Devil and not on Web Hosting Kit? Basically they both are having same charset settings.
