Java Hibernate: Unable to perform unmarshalling

Question

I'm new to Hibernate and I'm tring to make a simple project to get familiar with it. I'm using Intellij Idea and SQLite for this project. When I try to run my project I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.internal.util.config.ConfigurationException: Unable to perform unmarshalling at line number 0 and column 0 in RESOURCE hibernate.cfg.xml. Message: null
    at org.hibernate.boot.cfgxml.internal.JaxbCfgProcessor.unmarshal(JaxbCfgProcessor.java:133)
    at org.hibernate.boot.cfgxml.internal.JaxbCfgProcessor.unmarshal(JaxbCfgProcessor.java:65)
    at org.hibernate.boot.cfgxml.internal.ConfigLoader.loadConfigXmlResource(ConfigLoader.java:57)
    at org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.configure(StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.java:163)
    at org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.configure(StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.java:152)

I've tried several solutions, including this one, yet I can't solve this problem.

This is my code:

import jakarta.persistence.Column;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import jakarta.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "Characters")
public class Character {
    @Id
    private int id;

    @Column(name = "first_name")
    private String firstName;

    @Column(name = "last_name")
    private String lastName;

    public Character(){

    }

    public Character(int _id, String _firstName, String _lastName){
        id = _id;
        firstName = _firstName;
        lastName = _lastName;
    }

    public int getId(){
        return id;
    }

    public String getFirstName(){
        return firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName(){
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setId(int _id){
        id = _id;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String _firstName){
        firstName = _firstName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String _lastName){
        lastName = _lastName;
    }

    public String toString(){
        return "{ID: " + id + ", " + "firstName: " + firstName + ", " + "lastName: " + lastName + "}";
    }
}

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.boot.Metadata;
import org.hibernate.boot.MetadataSources;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistry;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Character c1 = new Character(1, "c", "1");
        Character c2 = new Character(2, "c", "2");
        Character c3 = new Character(3, "c", "3");

        final StandardServiceRegistry registry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
                .configure() // configures settings from hibernate.cfg1.xml
                .build();
        Metadata meta = new MetadataSources(registry).getMetadataBuilder().build();


        SessionFactory factory = meta.getSessionFactoryBuilder().build();
        Session session = factory.openSession();
        Transaction t = session.beginTransaction();

        session.persist(c1);
        t.commit();
        System.out.println("successfully saved");
        factory.close();
        session.close();

    }

}

EDIT: I tried to delete the BOM as @Jens and @Thomas said, now I get this error:

I don't know if this is the same error or another one.
