Errors occur in some browsers when using Fluid-all.js in documents without the character encoding specified
Description
In some browsers, use of the concatenated Fluid-all.js file causes erros with HTML documents that don't declare a character coding. We've traced this to a stray UTF-8 character in jQuery UI 1.5.3's ui.core.js file.

Note that the ui.core.js file works fine when used on its own even in documents that don't specify a character encoding. The problem is only visible when using the concatenated Fluid-all file.

Fixed at revision r6308.
Had to use MS Word to view the file with the hidden characters visible. I deleted the problem character from ui.core.js, saved, and everthing seemed to work after that.

In firebug in FF3 the error displayed as follows
Error: illegal character line: 4684 file: fluid-all.js
That line appears like this: /*
The illegal character "  " being directly in front of the comment
