I was wondering if any one could tell me what this means

Arduino: 1.8.12 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

NIGHTLIGHT:21:1: error: stray '\302' in program
if (currentButton == HIGH)
[u][1]
NIGHTLIGHT:21:2: error: stray '\240' in program
if (currentButton == HIGH)
[u] [2]
exit status 1
stray '\302' in program
code:
if (currentButton == HIGH)

  1. /u ↩︎

  2. /u ↩︎
