An example of Byte Order Marks

The following is an example of Byte Order Marks.

If you choose to save this file as UTF-8 you see the following.

When you look at the actual bytes as they are encoded, you see the BOM added to the beginning of the file. The first three bytes of the file are encoded as EF BB BF.

During the import process Contenta automatically removes the xml declaration and as such, automatically strips the BOM from the file.
