A little digging makes this appear that you've saved your file in Unicode format, and the three characters at the beginning are the UTF-8 encoding of the Byte Order Mark. Open your batch file in Notepad, make sure those characters are not visible, then save it using SAVE AS..., and make sure that the encoding pulldown is set to ANSI.
