Your server is returning this in its response header:

Content-Type:text/html (BOM UTF-16, litte-endian)

You might want to be using UTF-8 as a character encoding, but I've no idea what BOM UTF-16 is.

Seeing as your server is based in the United States (according to IP address geolocation), I've no idea why it would be sending such an odd Content-Type header.

Check what character encoding you're using in your HTML editor. If it doesn't look like that's to blame, then ask your server admin why the web server is specifying such an odd encoding.
