Probably an upload that went bad.

Delete your current Zen Cart 'index.php' file in your Hosting account then upload it again.

As nothing gets changed or editted in the 'index.php' file, it is safe to use the default one.

or

go to admin/Developers Tool Kit and search for this char
you will find in which file they are. just clean it

Sorted now- Thanks

It was because I used an HTML editor to edit the Meta Tags file

As soon as I used PHP editor I was able to strip out the characters

I had the same problem and finally figured out what it was...so here is all the information...

My MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

so I had to change 2 lines in 2 files and it works perfectly now.

/includes/languages/english.php
/admin/includes/languages/english.php

look for
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

and change it to
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');

then look for
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

and change it to
define('CHARSET', 'uft-8');

Do this in both files, and those error characters will not show up any more. :-)

I hope this helps someone!!!
