Totally Zenned
thats UTF-8 BOM signature . you editing your files with editor set to UTF-8 character encoding . zencart files are set to ISO_8859-1 . although you still can edit while your editor is set to uft-8 , you should disable BOM signature from within editor .
those character will have some effect on your pages , specially rendering CSS correctly .

Hi Tony,
I'm using ultraedit to modify the css and dreamweaver to edit the php page, what should i do now?
***a. re-open all .css file and edit it again using other software editing? ( any recommendations? )
b. Re-edit all files including the .php in dreamweaver and upload it again?
c. any how to change existing editor to make it comply with zen cart standard utf?***
