I have downloaded and installed node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/. I want to run a js file:
console.log('hello');
I run node app.js
And get a syntax error:
SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

The "SyntaxError: Unexpected token import" occurs when we use the ES6 import syntax in a version of Node that doesn't support it. To solve the error, use the require syntax, e.g. const myPackage = require('my-package') or set the type attribute to module in your package. json file.
The JavaScript exceptions "unexpected token" occur when a specific language construct was expected, but something else was provided. This might be a simple typo.
Did you copy some unicode characters from word or something?
try retyping the console.log('hello') Something like this has happened to me before, when I copied some code from a word document.

The problem was that I created the file by redirecting output from echo command in powershell. It had UTF-16 LE encoding, should be UTF-8
