    Thats only happening with your German language selection . I guess the best thing is , to copy that character that you see in the following page and use Developer tool kit in admin and search for it and see if you can find it in your German language files and look for reasons that being displayed ..

    also "" is the Byte Order Mark (BOM) of the Unicode Standard. Specifically it is the hex bytes EF BB BF, which form the UTF-8 representation of the BOM, misinterpreted as ISO 8859/1 text instead of UTF-8.

    Probably what it means is that you are using a text editor that is saving files in UTF-8 with the BOM, when it should be saving without the BOM. It could be PHP files that have the BOM, in which case they'd appear as literal text on your page.

    use developer tool kit in your admin to find that BOM .. once you do , then remove it from your file. it should be in your German language file ..
    use text editor that wont introduce BOM in your files if is not UTF 8 .

    i can't tell exactly where that is , scanning your site with developer tool kit should give you some idea.
