Error: stray '\254' in program; stray ...

[sorceror]

I write this simple code and it brings up stray errors 254, 222, 220, 154, 150...

#include<iostream>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int i; string s;
int main()
{
cin>>s;
system("pause");
}

Can anyone help me?

It looks like you saved the source file as unicode, specifically UTF-16
Try re-saving the file as ascii.

What text editor are you using that this became an issue in the first place?

Problem is currently fixed.
Could it be the issue caused by some virus? Cause this version of cpp worked without error
