Strange curly bracket symbol

i use 2 php lines right after my body tag

<?php include_once(“…/analyticstracking.php”) ?>
<?php require ‘includes/header.php’; ?>

all of a sudden a strange curly bracket symbol has appeared in the topleft corner of the browser and i have no idea where it comes from

this is the symbol

has anyone seen this before?
any tips on how to debug would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Try removing the character at the end of this line which is in your header about halfway down:



<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>&#8747;


thanks for your good eyesight!

Pleased that I was able to help and it was far from “good eyesight”.

Steps taken:

  1. loaded the page locally
  2. confirmed that the offending character displayed.
  3. deleted first half of the lines between <body> and </body> - offending character still displayed :{
  4. undid deletion
  5. deleted second half of the lines between <body> and </body> - offending character still displayed :{
  6. undid deletion
  7. deleted first half of the lines between <head> and </head> - offending character still displayed :{
  8. undid deletion
  9. deleted second half of the lines between <head> and </head> - offending character not displayed :{
  10. prooceded with undoing deletion and removing half the remaining lines
  11. repeated process until the offending line was found…

btw, that’s the integral sign.
