I am finding an extraneous  in a very simple cfm page. It does have a cfinclude of straight text named as a .cfm template. This character shows up with or without the cfinclude -- I add the cfinclude content into the main page and the character is still there. If I name the page .htm, no character. Charset is utf-8. This is driving me crazy!
