Error description

• The hybrid mobile app built with Worklight 6.1 failed to publish
  to Windows Store due to certification failure error for UTF-8
  file encoding.
  
  e.g.  ...\www\default\worklight\worklight.css is not properly
  UTF-8
  encoded. Re-save the file as UTF-8 (including Byte Order Mark)
  
  This error affecting all the *.js, *.css, *.html files in the
  application package (native folder of windows8 environment)
  including Worklight, Dojo, Cordova and application specific
  files.
  
  In order to pass this test, all the files in the application
  package needs to be encoded using UTF-8 including Byte Order
  Mark (BOM) (Not just UTF-8).
  

Local fix

• Open the affected file and select Save As from the File menu in
  Visual Studio. Select the drop-down control next to the Save
  button and select Save with Encoding. From the Advanced save
  options dialog, choose the Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) option
   and click OK.
