在HTML电子邮件中

Question

I have read posts about this and I know it has to do something with encoding but I can't get rid of this  to save my life. I used to app that lets you upload an image and then edit it and then it spits out the html code. Worked well, except in the preview of the body of the email...There is the subject and then many emails clients show the first sentence or so of the email. There is a  that shows up before the first word "Dear" in the body. There is a LOT of html for this email but this is the HTML surrounding the "Dear Sean Anderson". The  shows up before that. I see nothing in that area that should cause that I don't think. I tried a few things, taking out a
tag, changing some span to p, etc. Nothing seems to get rid of it. Does anyone see anything or have any information of how I can get rid of this? Thank you. Using PHP to send the email.

Sounds like an encoding issue that's impacting a non-breaking space character. You might check out HTML encoding issues - "Â" character showing up instead of " "

To borrow from the accepted answer:

The non-breaking space character is byte 0xA0 in ISO-8859-1; when encoded to UTF-8 it'd be 0xC2,0xA0, which, if you view it as ISO-8859-1 comes out as "Â ".
