Getting errors stray ‘\342’ and ‘\200’ and ‘\214’

I'm trying to write a program for a simple game, but I am getting errors, stray ‘\342’ and ‘\200’ and ‘\214’, using g++ and gedit in Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander).

The code is:

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>

using namespace std;

char all_d()
{
    return 'D';
}

int main()
{
    bool more = true;
    while ( more )
    {
        cout << "enter C to cooperate, D to defect, Q to quit\n";
        char player_choice;
        cin >>‌ player_choice;

        if ( player_choice != 'C' || player_choice != 'D' || player_choice != 'Q' )
        {
            cout << "Illegal input.\nenter an other\n";
            cin >> player_choice;
        }

        char  cpu_choice = all_d();

        cout << "player's choice is " << player_choice << endl;
        cout << "cpu's choice is " << cpu_choice << endl;
    }

    if ( player_choice == 'Q' )
    {
        cout << "Game is Over!\n";
        more = false;
    }
}

and terminal output is:

IPD.cpp:18:3: error: stray ‘\342’ in program
   cin >>‌ player_choice;
   ^
IPD.cpp:18:3: error: stray ‘\200’ in program
IPD.cpp:18:3: error: stray ‘\214’ in program
IPD.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
IPD.cpp:29:47: error: ‘end’ was not declared in this scope
   cout << "cpu's choice is " << cpu_choice << end;
                                               ^
IPD.cpp:32:7: error: ‘player_choice’ was not declared in this scope
  if ( player_choice == 'Q' )
       ^

I even tried to to compile this:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char a;
    cin >>‌ a;
}

and the terminal again says:

a.cpp:8:2: error: stray ‘\342’ in program
  cin >>‌ a;
  ^
a.cpp:8:2: error: stray ‘\200’ in program
a.cpp:8:2: error: stray ‘\214’ in program

How can I fix this?

Note that I installed Ubuntu last night.
