I have the following Info.plist (UTF8) file:

I'm trying to Remove the NSBonjourServices
entry located at the end of the file using plutil or PlistBuddy but it fails miserably:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Delete :NSBonjourServices' Info.plist
Encountered unexpected character \u00c2 on line 80 while looking for open tag Error Reading File: Info.plist
plutil -remove NSBonjourServices Info.plist
Info.plist: Property List error: Encountered unexpected character  on line 80 while looking for open tag / JSON error: JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set.
Line 80 is this one:
<string>_reveal._tcp</string>
Your Info.plist has an illegal character in it. You might be able to fix by deleting and retyping that one line, or the whole NSBonjourServices
array.
Stangely it is no visible and it does not bother Xcode! I've removed everything before '<'.
