Looks like the ASCII code for Carriage Return, encoded as an XML character reference.

    Numerical character references refer to character of Unicode’s character set and not ASCII’s. (Although the first 128 character of Unicode’s and ASCII’s character set is identical.) – Gumbo Sep 22 '09 at 10:11

    I've filtered it out...But the thing is that i forgot if i pass it through to PHP it was rendered as a carriage return. So to make a good if statement i had to use htmlentities(trim(' ')) to campare it. – blub Sep 22 '09 at 10:17

When you code in windows, and use "DOS/Windows" line endings, the your lines will end like this "\r\n". In some xhtml editors, that "\r" is illegal so te editor converts it to "&#13".
