UTF8 is defined by the Unicode consortium, not by wikipedia. See here for example: http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#29 which says that you can put a bom in a utf8 file (of course, you can put whatever character you want in a file), but it is a character like every other character, it has no particular meaning wrt the encoding. Then, maybe chicken could consider U+FFFE as whitespace, to work around this bug in scite, and maybe other broken tools. P.
