Strange characters in "Now Playing"

[knobby]

HI,
When I look in Centovacast I can see the name of the tracks that are playing or have played in the account overview, but at the top of the screen where it shows "Now Playing" there are some weird characters shown before the name of the artist (see screenshot). I?ve had my host check the stream and they say the characters are not coming from them. This only started when I began using RB. I?ve checked the "nowplaying.txt" file and the characters are not in there.
I use BUTT to send the stream to the Icecast server, but I?ve used this for a long time with other automation software without problems.
Do you have any idea how I can get rid of them please?
Thanks.

It?s Ok I?ve found the cause.

The now playing text file was set to "TXT UTF8". I changed it to just "TXT" and it?s now working properly.

Unicode (UTF8) is a preferred way as it allows international characters to be displayed properly. It appear that BUTT does not correctly process the UTF8 nowplaying file - you should contact its developers to fix this problem.
