How can the error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'Â ' (T_STRING)" be resolved in PHP code?

The error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'Â ' (T_STRING)" typically occurs due to hidden special characters in the code, often caused by copying and pasting code from a source that includes non-ASCII characters. To resolve this issue, you should remove the hidden special characters by retyping the affected code or using a text editor that can show and remove such characters. 

// Incorrect code with hidden special characters causing the parse error
$variable = 'Hello, World ';

// Corrected code without hidden special characters
$variable = 'Hello, World';
