You're just seeing the unicode markers at the front of the file.

Since your checked file doesn't seem to have them (Checked out using 
-k{UCS2-LE} I guess) the diff sees the difference between the Unicode 
with a BOM (which is the default) and the one in your sandbox.

It's harmless enough & won't affect anything really.
