It's hard to say for sure. What is the character? When you say
"random", do you mean it changes all the time, or it's a constant but
inexplicable value?
I would look into whether the different HTML files maybe have different
file encodings or Unicode byte treatments. A hexdump utility can be
helpful here to see what is really in the files. Even "simple text
editors" interpret byte sequences for you to display text, and can hide
information that might be important in this case.
