If you google for 0xAD you'll come across other posts on Answers with the same problem. The 4th google hit tells you that character 0xAD is a [soft-hyphen][1]. That indicates that the minus sign in your code is not a minus character, but a soft hyphen instead. The compiler isn't expecting to find a soft hyphen. If you select it, and replace it with a - character - that's a hyphen-minus, ascii char 45.
