General ⇒ Compiler reports invalid Character

[Kazkek]

I'm sure this topic pops up a lot but I haven't run across anything that seems to be the same situation as me. Here is my log file a few lines right before and after the error.

l.2 

I'm pretty sure the answer lies within thesis.aux and whatever l.2 means.

Thank you.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Perhaps remove the .aux file and compile again. The .aux file will be created again.

I did what you said and it worked. Thanks for the help. I still don't know how that happened. Scary times.

Solved!
