"stray '/302' in program error" when compiling For some weird reason, the following code doesn't compile. I get a "stray '\302' in program" error around volatile unsigned int encoderPos = 0;, and I have no idea what the issue is. I've been trying to figure this out for over 40min, and nothing works. It doesn't make any sense

0302 is 0xc2. Somewhere in your source you have one or more non-breaking spaces (0xa0) encoded in UTF-8 (0xc2 0xa0). Use od or a similar tool to find them, and then replace them with normal spaces. Since you have non-ASCII Latin-1 characters in your source, those characters are encoded as two bytes with the first being 0xc2 or 0xc3. Remove all non-ASCII characters before proceeding.
