Why is my code doing this?

My code is making this symbol: Â Whenever I do a space, it does that. I am using a WYSIWYG editor, and just type whatever I want right into it. But it keeps doing this: Â After a space. It doesn't show it right away, only when I save the file. Could someone please explain to me why it is doing that and how to fix it by using code or something? Thanks!

    You don't say what language you are using. But one thing to check is that you may be saving a unicode character (probably a 16bit ucs2) instead of a straight ascii space. Another explanation could be a simple bug in your code (e.g. in C/C++ you are forgetting to terminate your string after the space). Without seeing your code it's hard to say for sure.
