tersal Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello new to HTML created my first page on a MAC using Textedit then Sublime. My page is fine on Chrome yet on Mozillza and Firefox at the end of some of my tags I see these symbols. 
 Any ideas? Code is below: <!DOCTYPE html > <html> <body> <h1>My First Heading</h1> <p> My First paragraph.</p> </body> </html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 This is called a "byte-order mark" or "BOM". Be sure that your code editor is set to save your HTML with an encoding UTF-8 without BOM. The other thing you need to do to prevent encoding issues is to add a meta tag indicating that your document is encoded in UTF-8: <meta charset="UTF-8"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
