Your page begins with those three characters.  Your text editor may hide 
them because in the UTF-8 character encoding, those three characters are a 
byte-order mark (http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html).  However, your 
Web server specifies charset=ISO-8859-1 in the HTTP Content-Type header, 
so what is intended to be a UTF-8 byte-order mark is actually interpreted 
as the three ISO-8859-1 characters .

I recommend using a text editor that does not insert a UTF-8 byte-order 
mark (or can be configured not to do so).
