That looks like a unicode null to me. https://www.google.com/#q=unicode+null for reference. If it's just that line, select the blank line and delete it.

So, how can recover my code (project)?? that i write it ...is it any way to recover my previous code before it deleted
suddenly.

@Mar.Na. I take it you don't backup your stuff by the question posed. Only you know where your backups are. This is usually what prods a new programmer to learn about backups, revision control and dogs.

DId you use NetBeans? If its set up right it keeps the previous versions of all your source code.

Please tell me what software you use netbeans or any other if you are using netbeans then they backup all of your source code you write the thing you do is to jump to previous..............................

I use netbeans 8.2.0....
Thanks alot I found another copy of my project....
By the way, if this status is repeated , what should I do?

If you recovered and it happens again it means you didn't learn from the prior experience.

I won't pull any punches here on out. You need to take better care of your files. These are called backups. Your choice how to do that.
