Yeah I found that when I googled it, but how do I remove them?

It doesn't remove the BOM, it ignores it.

Or the other way(ignore) could be change the encoding.

Windows Notepad (ugh) adds them; suggestion from a dup of this question is to use Notepad++, which allows setting "UTF-8 without BOM" as an encoding. Or use a Real Editor... (emacs!) :-)

That's exactly the issue, different character encodings use different bytes for the same characters. Read again the third paragraph of the answer.
