Actually Mousepad has an option that says: "Write Unicode BOM"
Hence my question is: does it need to be checked or unchecked?
The BOM at the start of the file is invalid for UTF-8 documents. I*think* it's required for UTF-16, but I may be wrong and I'm too tiredto look it up. If you're writing UTF-8 documents, you should not includea BOM (and your editor shouldn't write one if it knows the encoding issupposed to be UTF-8).
