 * So I have what is probably a somewhat unique problem..
 * What I’m trying to do is change the date format on your plugin to show the Japanese
   character for year “年” I only need the year because I don’t want to show the
   months.
 * The problem is that to insert it in the php file I have to change the encoding
   to UTF-8 but when I do this it breaks my site’s login and log out pages.
 * When I change the php file to UTF-8 and log out I see several variations of this
   error (I removed my domain name):
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at domain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-category-archive/wp-category-archive.php:
   1) in domain.com/wp-login.php on line 418
 * Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

 * keep in mind that at this stage I’m not modifying the php in any way other than
   just changing the encoding.

 * well I ended up kind of fixing my problem with CSS’s “content” style but haven’t
   managed to change the php to UTF-8 with BOM
