Howdy,

It appears that you have an invisible, embedded Ctl-B (^^B) in your  
file. Where did you get that file? Was it actually created in TeXShop?  
Delete all the characters between the 8.2 through the end of from.

Can you create a minimal but complete, compilable file that gives this  
error? Are you using UTF-8 input encoding in the file? Is the file  
really stored as UTF-8?

Good Luck,
