The sequence EF BB BF is the UTF-8 BOM - you will need to make sure that your editor is configured to save as ASCII.

it is, see bug 238694 comment #2
Your editor created a Unicode file, not an ASCII file. There's a special marker in front that notifies the reader that it's a Unicode file. But the charset indicator takes precedence, so you see these weird characters.
