Compile Time Error: ááá - illegal Character

[Jay Ceazar Boado]

Hi

Tried to compile this code below and encountered this error.

ááá - illegal Character

import java.rmi.*;

public interface MyRemote extends Remote
{
    public String sayHello() throws RemoteException;
}

I directly copied it from lotus notes mail client since it was sent by a colleague seeking for help.

When I retype the code manually, it compiles fine.

Not sure where does the special character came from? Any advise

Thank you so much for the help

Jay

Hi Balu

Thanks for the reply. It looks like then. Since I tried copying the code I just pasted and compiled fine.

That is because it has been through some sort of word processor which adds control characters. Only use text editors (preferably not NotePad) or IDEs for programming.
