Your signature[edit]

Hi. Your signature seems to constantly confuse my XML Parser when I parse Wikipedia pages. What is the significance of

&#0xfeff;

and how should it be parsed? Thanks. Pkalmar (talk) 20:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How strange, my signature is one of the top google hits for &#0xfeff; yet I don't recall ever having had anything like that in my signature. Unicode character 0xfeff is the zero width space, often also used as a byte order mark. To get it to be a proper entity would require getting rid of the leading 0 of the number though. Perhaps it's an artifact of the conversion of en.wikipedia to utf-8? Not sure what made it choose to single out my sig for this treatment though. You could try asking at the helpdesk if anyone knows anything about this. Good luck! --fvw * 10:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
