    Angry DAMN ErRoRS

    Well I was reading a tuturail and the tuterial said write a little code on the complier so I did this is the code:
    ==========================================
    //Listing 2.2 using cout

    #include <iostream.h>
    int main()
    {
    cout <<"Hello there.\n";
    cout <<"Here is 5: "<< 5 <<"\n";
    cout <<"The manipulator endl writes a new line to the screen."<<
    Âendl;
    cout <<"Here is a very big number:\t" <<70000 <<endl;
    cout <<"Here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t" << 8+5 <<endl;
    cout <<"Heres a fraction:\t\t" << (float) 5/8 << endl;
    cout <<"And a very very big number:\t" <<(double) 7000 * 7000 <<
    Âendl;
    cout <<"Don't forget to replace Musicdip with your name...\n";
    cout <<"Musicdip is a C++ programmer after the third day!\n";
    return 0;
    }

    =========================================
    Well Here are the Errors

    --------------------Configuration: 21 - Win32 Debug--------------------
    Compiling...
    21days.cpp
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\21\21days.cpp(9) : error C2018: unknown character '0xc2'
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\21\21days.cpp(14) : error C2018: unknown character '0xc2'
    Error executing cl.exe.

    21.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
    =========================================
    Im not sure if I made a mistake maybe added extra spaces or didnt add spaces where it needs to be...

    What are your thoughts on this?

    1. Finger trouble

    2. copy/pasting nicely formatted code from html/pdf/word documents, which occasionally have funny chars which look nice on screen, but which are not valid source code characters.
