Check any file that you have edited yourself on this installation and ensure that you have saved "Without BOM". The characters are a BOM (Byte order mark) which is added when saving in utf8.
It's probably going to be your config file.
Thanks but I'm not sure where that would have come in.
I am very new to b2evolution. This is a clean install with one additional plugin added (Amazing Discoveries sortable bloglist plugin) to order the public blogs.
None of the files have been edited, though haapy in PHP I'm a real novice here and have not had time to look round yet. I usually use Bluefish as an editor and have never come accross it on other php files edited.
Apologies for resurrecting this very old topic, but I am having the same problem with Version 4.0.5
The characters  are being inserted in the header of every blog
Even worse! these characters or something is being output when selecting Dashboard > Photoblog > Global settings ? > Plugin configuration which causes a number of warning messages to be displayed:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /.../blogs/plugins/_sorted_bloglist.plugin.php:1) in /homepages/3/d108046940/htdocs/lush/blogs/inc/_core/_template.funcs.php on line 243
