Kindly check your file ENCODING. It must be in UTF-8 or UTF-8 without BOM.

To change you file encoding. Use Notepad++(you can use also other editor where you can change the file encoding). In menu bar > Choose ENCODING > Choose any UTF-8 or UTF-8 without BOM.

See link for the difference of UTF-8 and UTF-8 without BOM. What's different between UTF-8 and UTF-8 without BOM?

Hope it can help. :)
