I have problems with this code and I have no idea how to fix it:
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,svgnames,table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{ulem}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\author{NAME}
\title{TITLE}
\usepackage[paperwidth=612pt,paperheight=792pt,top=28pt,right=34pt,bottom=35pt,left=34pt]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\noindent \textbf{ABSTRACT}
\noindent \textbf{}
{\raggedright
\vspace{3pt} \noindent
\begin{tabular}{|p{514pt}|}
\hline
\parbox{514pt} {\raggedright \vspace{3pt}
TEXT \textbf{. } TEXT } \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\vspace{2pt}
}
\end{document}
The error that I got is this:

Best Answer
you have a UTF-8 BOM sequence at the start of the file
bytes:
or if (mis) interpreted as latin1, the three characters
best would be to use an editor that allows you to save without the byte order mark.
