Why does this error appear ï " ¿when I include a php file [duplicate]

this question already has answers here : What is the unicode signature (BOM)? (2 responses) Closed for 4 years.

I have the error problem  whenever I try to include a file.

I'm working on an application. Trying to include another file in php simply creates a space on the page, where the characters:  appear.

I appreciate help as soon as possible.

    :set fileencoding=utf8
:w arquivo.txt

To understand the differences between UTF8 with and no good, read:
